What should a driver do if their vehicle fails inspection?

When a vehicle fails inspection, the appropriate course of action is to repair the issues and return for re-inspection. This process ensures that the vehicle meets safety and emissions standards required by the state. Addressing the identified problems not only enhances the vehicle’s performance and safety for the driver and others on the road, but it also helps to maintain compliance with legal requirements.

By opting to repair the vehicle, the owner demonstrates responsible vehicle stewardship, prioritizing safety and reliability. Once the necessary repairs are made, returning for re-inspection allows for verification that the vehicle is now in good working condition and suitable for operation on public roads. This approach ultimately helps prevent potential accidents and fines associated with operating a vehicle that does not meet inspection standards.
