What is the consequence of failing a safety inspection?

Failing a safety inspection indicates that the vehicle does not meet the established safety standards set forth by the state. As a result, the correct course of action is for the vehicle owner to have the necessary repairs completed to address the identified issues. Only after these repairs have been made can the vehicle undergo re-inspection to ensure that it now complies with safety regulations.

Repairing the vehicle to meet safety standards is critical for ensuring not only the safety of the driver and passengers but also that of other road users. Proper repairs will enable the vehicle to perform safely on the road, preventing potential accidents caused by neglecting vehicle safety issues.

In contrast, simply allowing the vehicle to remain in use without addressing the safety concerns, or merely re-inspecting without repairs, is not permissible and could lead to further safety risks. This shows the importance of prioritizing vehicle repairs after a failed safety inspection before it can be legally driven again.
