15州有 “車輛安全年檢”，顧名思義，專門檢查刹車，輪胎，玻璃，是否黑燈瞎火，等等，very sweet，躺贏for sure。

當然，你的車打不著，到不了檢查station，就先修好了再議。

-------------------------

In the United States, vehicle safety inspection and emissions inspection are governed by each state individually. Fifteen states have a periodic (annual or biennial) safety inspection program, while Maryland requires a safety inspection and Alabama requires a VIN inspection on sale or transfer of vehicles which were previously registered in another state. An additional 16 states require periodic emissions inspections.

In 1977, the federal Clean Air Act was amended by Congress to require states to implement vehicle emissions inspection programs, known as I/M programs (for Inspection and Maintenance), in all major metropolitan areas whose air quality failed to meet certain federal standards. New York's program started in 1982, California's program (Smog Check) started in 1984, and Illinois's program started in 1986. The Clean Air Act of 1990 required some states to enact vehicle emissions inspection programs. States impacted were those in metropolitan areas where air quality did not meet federal standards.^[1] Some states, including Kentucky and Minnesota, have discontinued their testing programs in recent years with approval from the federal government.

Vehicle inspection laws by state:

  Periodic safety inspection required

  VIN inspection required upon sale or transfer

  Safety inspection required when registering a vehicle from another jurisdiction

  Emissions testing required in some areas

  Emissions testing required in all areas

  No inspection required

• 謝謝你的資料。定期安全年檢，看來在東部南部居多。西部州一般隻需要smoke check。 -原上草2017- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/27/2021 postreply 11:19:09
