Car Inspections

What will happen if my car does not pass the state's safety inspection?

The rules vary from state to state. You may get a "failed" sticker attached to your windshield. You may have a grace period that allows you to make repairs or to get your car off the road. If you fail to comply, you could face fines and other penalties.
