Will not having a vehicle inspected affect the owner?

[VanRowan]

Failure to have a vehicle inspected annually will indeed affect the owner. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspections: Categories of vehicle inspections: Initial inspection: The inspection conducted to apply for a vehicle license plate is called the initial inspection. The purpose of the initial inspection is to verify whether the vehicle meets the conditions for obtaining a license plate. Regular inspection, commonly referred to as the annual inspection, allows eligible vehicles to be inspected once every six years, with a new label issued every two years. Significance of vehicle inspections: Inspections also help prevent certain illegal activities. For example, inspections check the vehicle's appearance, engine, and frame number to 'verify its identity' and ensure the vehicle has not been illegally modified. They also prevent vehicles with serious issues from being driven on the road. For instance, some commercial vehicles may have excessive mileage or severe mechanical wear, and some owners might continue driving them to save on repair costs, which undoubtedly poses potential safety hazards to other vehicles and pedestrians on the road.
