Default NEED TO KNOW: Arkansas DOESNT have state inpection?

My friend told me that Arkansas doesnt have state inspection. if this is true, then i'll have my car registered in arkansas and i wont have to worry about a state inspection sticker. Anyone confirm or deny this?

I know we have a few arkansas guys on here, and i think a few months back merv told me in a previous thread that arkansas allows open headers, so no state inspection would make sense of that.

from what i found at http://www.math.byu.edu/~bill/Safety-Emission-Regs/ , im going to say no...

ARKANSAS
No emissions or safety inspection.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALIFORNIA
California has no safety inspection.

Emissions:

California has a sniffer test semi-anually and at resale time. Exempt from that test are cars less than five years old and '75 model year and older. Motorcycles and diesel cars of any year are exempt too. Tampering with emissions equipment is illegal.

There's also a restricted license which is available for any model year, which includes a limitation to 2500 miles per year and no vehicle use other than to and from car shows or races, and/or participation in cruise events.

There is a kit car scheme, too, which provides for the registration of new kit cars with a title dated according to the year the car most resembles. The catch to that seems to be that there are only 500 such tags available each year.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


COLORADO
Colorado has no Safety Inspection.

Emissions:

Vehicles are divided into two groups for purposes of emissions. 1981 and older, 1982 and newer. 1981 and older are tested yearly with an idle test. 1982 and newer have a more complex test but only every two years. These tests apply in a 7 county area around the Denver metro area.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NORTH CAROLINA
Vehicles older than 35 years are not required to be inspected. All motor vehicles registered in North Carolina must be inspected annually for mechanical safety. The DMV oversees the inspection process. "The objective of the inspection is to make sure the motoring public is safe." A North Carolina vehicle safety inspection is required within 10 days of receiving a North Carolina license plate or by the last day of the month printed on the inspection window sticker. The annual cost of the sticker is $9.25. The North Carolina vehicle inspection can be performed at any of the 7,500 licensed inspection stations throughout the state. Most service stations, automobile dealerships and vehicle repair garages are licensed inspection stations.

If a vehicle fails the safety inspection, it cannot be operated beyond the expiration date on the current sticker. However, the owner will have 30 days to repair any safety defects and qualify for a re-inspection at no additional cost, provided the owner repairs the defects and presents a receipt of the initial inspection at the same inspection station. If the inspection sticker expires after the initial inspection but before re-inspection, the owner may request a single-trip permit from the DMV to drive the vehicle to the inspection station for re-inspection.

Inspection items include:
Brakes
Lights
Horns
Steering mechanism
Windshield wipers
Turn signals
Tires
Rear view mirrors
Exhaust system
Window tint

Emissions Inspection:

The emissions inspection is performed in conjunction with the annual safety inspection and costs $19.40. Diesel-powered vehicles and motorcycles are exempt. Vehicles that fail the initial inspection qualify for re-inspection within 30 days at no additional charge, provided the owner repairs the defects and presents a receipt of the initial inspection.

Any motor vehicle, model year 1975 and newer, registered in these nine counties must pass an annual emissions inspection: Cabarrus, Durham, Forsyth, Gaston, Guilford, Mecklenburg, Orange, Union, Wake,

Window Tinting: Vehicles with after-factory window tinting must pass the 35 percent visible light requirement during an annual vehicle safety inspection. In addition to the annual safety inspection fee, there is a $10 charge for any vehicle that has an after-factory tint. If you have any questions about window tinting, contact your nearest DMV Enforcement Office, or call (919) 733-7872.

I really dont know what a safety inspection is and im from arkansas....if that answers your question...lol. I know when you go to register your car, they dont even look at anything but papers. I also ran open headers for like 8 months no ticket and the only time i got flak over it was when i would get pulled over for something stupid like a tail light out or something.
