No, you can drive on bald tires, and bad brakes. If your transferring registration from another state you must go through a class A or B vehicle inspection. They check vin's and do a quick check and that's about all. They might drive it if you need a salvage title. After that they never have to see it again, even if you sell it. There are emissions testing in high smog areas (Phoenix and Tucson). They only test emissions and emission related stuff, like catalytic converters or smog pumps or gas caps. They just plug into the computer on newer vehicles. They tax mainly off value of vehicle not weight like some states. It is still your responsibility to keep your vehicle safe and the cops can get you for just
about anything except for having a gun in your pocket.
No. A safety inspection is required to insure a car if it is 12 years or older. BUT... you need insurance on the car before you can register it. So you can insure the car first and get the pink cards then take the pink cards to the registry to get the plates. The insurance company will give you 30 days grace to get the safety done.
Depends on the State. For my state (Va) safety inspection required on all vehicles that are 20 years old and newer (over 20 yrs safety inspection not required, but has to have 'classic' vehicle tags). Emissions inspection on all cars 15 yrs and newer - over 15 yrs old is exempt
It depends on the level of inspection, more than likely they will inspect the following: both headlights tail lights all blinkers brake lights reverse lights seatbelts They usually do not inspect the actual safety of the car itself.
36.00 for safety and omissions
A Blue Slip is a safety inspection report issued by the RTA to prove that a vehicle has passed the required roadworthy, design and identity standards for registration.
Check in and around that car tires engine forstandards and safety
Should only take about an hour.
Nope, it's a safety hazard.
A car import inspection in Alberta is very detailed requiring 50%or more brake life remaining and no looseness at all in steering and suspension components, no chips or cracks in any glass, all lights including dash and interior working correct. The insurance required inspection when buying a car over 10 years old requires that the car meet motor vehicle safety laws, and are based on the manufacturer specifications for brake wear, steering etc. This is much easier to pass as long as the car is in decent shape.
You would have to get a safety inspection. After you can take it to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
In Texas, proof of financial responsibility is required before inspection. During inspection horn, windshield wipers, steering, seat belts, brakes, tires, lights, turn signals, gas cap, and window tint is inspected.
Arizona has not required all drivers to have car insurance for a while. It was only in late 1960's to the 1970's that drivers were required to have car insurance.
