State Vehicle Safety Inspection

Question: What is a State Vehicle Safety Inspection?

Answer:

States require this yearly safety inspection to make sure that all vehicles used on public roads are in good condition and safe to drive. The goal is to catch any damage or issues with vehicles before they cause an accident. The state safety inspection can be performed by any official Department of Transportation (DOT) service station. Any such station will have a sign to let you know they are an official DOT service station.

The following are checked during the safety inspection:

  • Brake system
  • Body and chassis
  • Defrost
  • Electrical system
  • Exhaust system
  • Fuel system
  • Glass and mirrors
  • Horn
  • Lighting system
  • Odometer
  • Steering
  • Suspension
  • Tires
  • and windshield wipers/washing system

Your vehicle will also be checked for any signs of tampering with your emissions system.
