If he sees the vehicle unfit to be on the road, he will punch the VIN number in, see when it was last inspected and where, if anything is suspicious about it the shop that did the inspection can be given a very hefty fine and possibly be faced with closure.

    Because of all that a simple thing like a tear in the seat can cause a vehicle to fail the inspections... And on a first glance, there's a lot more than just a torn seat that I could see on that truck lol.

    Yeah man, Inspections here are completely exaggerated. I could bring my dads 2012 Dodge Ram pickup in there with a cracked headlight and they'd fail it...

    I'm so glad we don't have to deal with bull shit like that where I live. We have ZERO

    Edit: So these inspections are so bad that they basically total a vehicle?
