Virginia has a safety inspection and an emissions inspection*. For the safety inspection, they put the car on a rack and thoroughly examine the tires and brake pads. (The guy in the bay next to me had to have one tire replaced.) They also check the lights, wipers, and horn to make sure they are working.In Maryland, you only have to have your car inspected once, before you register it. If you buy a new car, no inspection is required, you just register it and you are done. If it is a used car, the mechanic goes over the car pretty thoroughly that one time. But then you can keep the car for decades after that without having another safety inspection. No annoying stickers on the windsheild either.*I passed Virginia emissions also. When I was living in Maryland, the NSX had an emissions waiver.
