Which type of vehicle requires inspection for safety and emissions?

The requirement for inspection of safety and emissions applies to all registered vehicles in New Hampshire. This encompasses a wide range of vehicle types, including passenger cars, motorhomes, and commercial vehicles. The reason for this comprehensive approach is to ensure that every vehicle on the road meets minimum safety standards and contributes to reducing harmful emissions, thereby promoting public safety and environmental health.

Safety inspections help identify issues that could pose risks on the road, such as faulty brakes or worn tires, while emissions inspections ensure that vehicles comply with environmental regulations aimed at minimizing pollution. By mandating inspections for all registered vehicles, New Hampshire aims to maintain a safer, cleaner transportation system for its residents and the environment.
