Car Inspections

What exactly does the state inspect on a car?

Inspection standards vary from state to state. Most states check the car's lights, brakes, windshield wipers, and horn. Some states also inspect the tires, the windows, the body, and the seat belts. Many states also test the emission levels, taking into account the automobile's make, model, and age.
