- cafard 4y agoVehicle inspection rules vary from state to state. In Maryland, a vehicle must be inspected for safety when registered, then every couple of years for emissions. In the District of Columbia, there is a safety and emissions inspection every two years. My recollection is that Pennsylvania and Colorado inspect cars every couple of years. In DC the safety inspection is done by the city, elsewhere by approved service stations.
- jsmith45 4y agoOnly 15 states have requirements for regular safety inspections. A few more have some one time inspections when transfering a car. Otherwise in the majority of states there are no inspections, or only emissions inspections (the later tend to only be required in specific cities/counties).
