Can an inspection be performed if the vehicle is deemed unsafe?

An inspection cannot be performed on a vehicle deemed unsafe because safety is a fundamental requirement for conducting the inspection. The purpose of an inspection is to assess the roadworthiness of the vehicle and ensure it meets the safety standards set by the state. If a vehicle is identified as unsafe due to significant issues, proceeding with the inspection would not only undermine the inspection process but could potentially put the owner, passengers, and other road users at risk.

In the context of vehicle regulations, an unsafe vehicle may present hazards that need to be addressed prior to inspection, making it essential for the vehicle to be deemed safe to conduct any kind of thorough assessment. This ensures that all vehicles on the road meet safety standards and helps promote overall traffic safety within the community.
