Some states do an annual safety inspection of vehicles - it's usually more or less "do your turn signals, brakes, and head lights work". Nowadays some states also need to do an emissions check. Some states require it every other year, some states I guess don't really require it at all?

I had to do an "inspection" when I moved to AZ and first registered my car. I dreaded what they might find since it was kind of a heap of junk. The inspection consisted of making sure the VIN matched up on the various locations on the car.

I did that too when buying a car out of state and bringing it to Kansas, but I don't think it was even called a _safety_ inspection. And definitely not an emissions inspection either. :)

IDK how many states don't require it, but Indiana, just to the west of Ohio, does not require safety inspections for personal vehicles. A few counties near Chicago do emissions testing I think.
