Having your vehicle inspected every year is more than just a way for the state to ensure that you re-register your vehicle. It also ensures that you and other drivers on the road are safe. At D&R Towing, we perform NH state vehicle inspections on personal and commercial vehicles so you can check the necessary boxes and have peace of mind knowing that you are driving a safe car or truck.
NH state vehicle inspections keep you safe on the road in more ways than one. Let’s take a look.
Safety Checks
First, there are the basic safety checks that take place during the inspection. The inspectors check the vehicle’s internal systems to make sure the driver can maintain control of the vehicle while driving. They also check the accessories and exterior of the vehicle to ensure that nothing will impede visibility or cause avoidable distractions while driving. To pass inspection, the vehicle must at least meet basic safety standards.
Catch Minor Problems
A state inspection is the perfect opportunity to give your vehicle the once-over to check for upcoming issues. During the inspection, we check things like your brakes and tires so we can let you know if you’ll need repairs or replacements soon. Even if the systems and parts are in good enough condition to pass inspection, it’s helpful to know what repairs you’ll need soon.
Control Emissions
New Hampshire is one of the states that requires an emissions test as part of the annual inspection. While we may not think of emissions as a safety issue, controlling emissions actually contributes to keeping our communities safe and liveable. Before catalytic converters were required on every vehicle, air pollution from vehicle emissions was such a problem that it was unsafe to go outside in certain cities. Think Los Angeles in the 1970s. While a handful of vehicles spouting excess emissions won’t cause catastrophic levels of pollution, it’s important to keep all vehicles running as cleanly as possible.
