ARdoller said:I never understood why some of the states you people live in, dont require state inspections, whether its annually or once-a-"whenever"... the whole point of them, at least the main purpose of them, is to assure you and everyone else, that you are driving a car that is safe for you and other drivers. Not requiring an inspection, is like saying they dont care if your blinkers, horn, or any safety features on your car work, if your tires are safe to drive on, and all the other stuff they would look for.
I like how Jersey does it... they require them, but only once every other year, as opposed to every year. its still done within a reasonable time-frame, but not EVERY year.
thats not the point. the point of inspections are for safety, not just for you, but for anyone else driving around you. the government could care less about you not wanting to put parts back on your car for your inspection... and why should they? for legal reasons, you shouldnt have them on your car to begin with as a daily driver or any kind of "driver" if you have to take it off for an inspection.DFG_Pimpin said:ARdoller said:I never understood why some of the states you people live in, dont require state inspections, whether its annually or once-a-"whenever"... the whole point of them, at least the main purpose of them, is to assure you and everyone else, that you are driving a car that is safe for you and other drivers.

why? not having inspections allows up to have any modification to our cars without having to worry about putting it back to stock to get an inspection done. And if any of the things you stated gets noticed by a police officer they get a ticket.
Safety inspections for passenger cars and light-duty trucks require that the following items be checked: suspension components, steering, braking systems, tires and wheels, lighting and electrical systems, glazing (glass), mirrors, windshield washer, defroster, wipers, fuel systems, the speedometer, the odometer, the exhaust systems, horns and warning devices, the body, and chassis. For most vehicles in the 42 county, Non-I/M region this safety inspection will also include a Visual Anti-Tampering Check. The Visual Anti-Tampering Check is an examination of the vehicle to see if the required emissions components have been tampered with or removed. For more information concerning the 42 County Visual Anti-Tampering Check please reference Section 175.80 of Subchapter E, of the Vehicle Equipment and Inspection Regulations. For a complete list of the rejection criteria for passenger cars and light duty trucks, please visit Subchapter E of the Vehicle Equipment and Inspection Regulations.

I dont know if it varies by state, but by law you need a horn, and if your vehicle comes equipped with an airbag, you can not remove it. Do I have to explain why it's not safe to remove those items?sbr420a said:i guess i am not understanding why a secure aftermarket wheel has anything to do with safety????
