Pennsylvania’s vehicle inspection program is designed to ensure that all vehicles operated on public roads are safe and in good working condition. The program requires that all vehicles registered in Pennsylvania undergo an annual safety inspection. The inspection covers a variety of safety-related items, including the brakes, lights, tires, and steering system. Vehicles that fail the inspection must be repaired before they can be driven on public roads.
Vehicle inspections are an important part of Pennsylvania’s overall highway safety program. They help to identify and correct safety defects that could otherwise lead to accidents. In addition, vehicle inspections help to ensure that vehicles are in compliance with state and federal emissions standards.
