Or if they pull you over for something, but then the first thing they ask is to turn your car off so they'd never see it anyway. Usually you pull over, turn your car off and put your hands on the steering wheel so when the police approach they know you don't have a weapon in your hands, or at least that was the etiquette I was taught. > There are no vehicle inspections, ever. As long as I continue to drive without causing incidents, my vehicle's condition is of little significance to anyone except me. You don't have DEQ? While it doesn't cover the dashboard, it certainly covers other equipment on the car to know if you're polluting more than the set threshold. Edit: just saw the reply below mine as it wasn't there when I was typing. I didn't realize that DEQ (Dept. of Environmental Quality) wasn't a national thing. Every 2 years I have to take it in and they hook into the cars OBD2 port to read the cars computer to get the sensor readings. Before computers were in cars, they stuck a sensor up your tailpipe and you had to rev the car up to 6,000 RPM for a few minutes (something like that, it's been a long time). You'll probably remember the big volkswagon scandal over this for falsifying the data.
