Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The inspection of vehicles as prescribed
				in the Louisiana motor vehicle inspection law is conducted in privately-owned
				businesses which have been approved by the Louisiana Department of Public
				Safety and Corrections. Although these approved inspection stations are
				privately owned businesses, the inspection of vehicles in compliance with the
				law is not entirely a private matter. During the course of performing these
				inspections, the station and its personnel are acting as representatives of the
				state of Louisiana. The guiding principal of station personnel should be, and
				must be, providing honest and efficient service to the citizens of our
				state.
B. Official motor vehicle
				inspection station operators and employees should be courteous and patient when
				explaining that the requirements of the motor vehicle inspection laws are
				designed to promote safety. It should be clearly understood by all employees
				that the primary function of the inspection station is not an arbitrary
				enforcement of the law but rather the advancement of highway safety.
C. All inspection station personnel must
				adopt the attitude that they sell safety. They must also bear in mind that the
				placement of one inspection certificate on an unsafe vehicle may be the cause
				of a serious crash. They owe a duty to themselves, their families, other
				vehicle owners and operators not to jeopardize lives through error,
				carelessness or indifference.
D.
				The official motor vehicle inspection station license may be revoked if any
				station owner, operator or employee fails to achieve and maintain a priority
				standard of service to the motoring public.
E. Each official motor vehicle inspection
				station shall give priority to customers seeking motor vehicle inspections.
				Reasonable time shall be considered when the inspector is committed to other
				duties, (clean up, hazardous situation).
