Colorado too detailed?[edit]

  • I think the Colorado entry is too verbose compared to the other state entries. A quick summary such as "every two years for most cars" and then a reference link would be fine. MrBananaGrabber 01:20, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. The Colorado entry should be rewritten to match the entries for the other states and D.C. Doctor Whom 01:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
While we're at it, would someone knowledgeable about inspection in Canada like to make the corresponding change to that country's entry? Thanks. Doctor Whom 16:33, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More info about vehicle inspection in Finland[edit]

Split article?[edit]

Should the country-specific information be split from this article? Also, do we need to know the color of every Pennsylvania inspection sticker for a quarter of a century? 38.100.35.16 (talk) 17:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Done See Vehicle inspection in the United States. Arbitrarily0 (talk)
Thanks. Now is it time to do the same for Australia? That section is rather large. 38.100.35.16 (talk) 19:49, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. SilkTork *YES! 09:59, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sweden[edit]

The article said: "... When a vehicle passes inspection, road tax and insurance have been paid, the owner receives an adhesive sticker to attach to the rear license plate, thus making it easy for the police to see if a vehicle is roadworthy."

I removed the passage. Those stickers are no longer in use (since 1 January 2010). The sticker was issued by the transportation agency after you paid your taxes and not in relation to the bilprovning inspection. A car probably wouldn't get that sticker if it didn't pass inspection but I found the article misleading as it suggested you receive it from bilprovning which wasn't the case. Cattleyard (talk) 19:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The sticker was removed mainly because those details are nowadays stored in central database. The cost of administering those stickers and sending them out was 6 000 000 000 SEK yearly. Most police cars has a online access to the database, either via a online equipment which can be used directly to query a specific license plate number, or if theres no such equipment in a specific police car, a query can be made with the communications radio to the communication center about the status of a specific license plate number.

Western Australia[edit]

Western Australia does not require an inspection on transfer of ownership. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.221.236.121 (talk) 09:01, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction[edit]

The article says this in the first paragraph, "Inspection is required every year in the United States". I don't think that this is true but I can't prove it.

In the US section it says this, "In the United States, each state government is free to decide whether to require vehicle safety inspection". I think that this is true but have no citation for it.

In any event, the two statements can not both be true. This should be cleaned up ... preferably by deleting both statements until someone can cite a source backing one of them up.

Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nkwiki (talk • contribs) 15:38, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This has been cleaned up in the meantime - the first paragraph no longer mentions the United States. There is still no source for the fact that US states can set inspection rules, but the separate article Vehicle inspection in the United States has extensive sources for the rules in different states, which I feel is sufficient.
So I think this issue is resolved.
