Safety and emissions in Utah refer to two types of mandatory vehicle inspections that are required by law to ensure that vehicles are safe to drive and have low emissions.
The safety inspection is designed to check that vehicles are in good working order and are safe to drive on the road. It includes inspections of the brakes, tires, headlights, taillights, turn signals, mirrors, seat belts, and other safety-related equipment.
The emissions inspection, on the other hand, is designed to check the level of pollutants that are released into the air from the vehicle’s exhaust system. This helps to ensure that vehicles meet state and federal emissions standards and are not polluting the air.
