What is the consequence if a vehicle does not meet required safety standards during inspection?

If a vehicle does not meet the required safety standards during inspection, the consequence is that it cannot be legally driven until repaired. This policy is in place to ensure that all vehicles on the road are safe for both the driver and other road users. Vehicles that fail to meet safety standards pose risks, such as faulty brakes or ineffective lighting, which could lead to accidents and injuries. As such, the law mandates that any vehicle identified as unsafe must be repaired before it is permitted back on the road. This measure is critical for maintaining public safety and ensuring compliance with legal standards.

Other options, such as temporary registration or passing with a conditional sticker, do not accurately reflect the seriousness of safety violations, and allowing a vehicle to be driven with a warning undermines the objective of prioritizing safety.
