No, you don't need one because it's an out of state vehicle.
I heard there were random inspections at roadside stations. What happens if it fails?
If that happens, a traffic ticket may be issued.
Can I get other types of inspections at inspection stations?
It depends. If the vehicle needs the diesel emissions inspection, then they can't do any other inspections. Other than that though, the station can do other types of inspections.
I need to know where the diesel inspection happens, and also when does it happen?
Any diesel inspection station can do this. It happens at the annual safety inspection.
So if I have an expired inspection certificate, what do I do?
Is the vehicle outside the DEMA?
Yes, it is.
You can go to the DMV to apply for a VS-1078 which is a Temporary Waiver. It needs to be displayed on the vehicle next to the original safety certificate.
What about if I want to become an inspection station? What would I need?
You need a DMV approved smokemeter. For more information, you should call 1-518-474-0919.
What are the criteria for if the vehicle needs a OBDII inspection versus the emissions inspection?
