Once A Year Vehicle Inspections Favored by PennDOT
Harrisburg AP PennDOT favors cutting biannual motor vehicle inspections to once a year while opposing ending mandatory inspections. Seymore Heyison director of traffic safety said annual inspections would be in a proposed code to the legislature and rejected targeting only older cars. He noted four annual inspection periods with two nonconsecutive checks and warned random spot checks could miss unsafe vehicles. He cited a Carnegie-Mellon study showing few defects found and urged maintaining safeguards, including reporting faulty inspections to state police and possible station suspensions for slipshod work.
