Can a non-DMV licensed mechanic conduct safety inspections?

A non-DMV licensed mechanic cannot conduct safety inspections because only certified personnel who have undergone the necessary training and obtained a valid license issued by the DMV are authorized to perform these inspections. This requirement ensures that all safety inspections adhere to the established standards and regulations necessary to ensure vehicle safety on the road. It helps maintain a uniform level of competence and accountability across all inspections, promoting public safety.

While other choices might suggest various levels of permission or conditions under which a non-licensed mechanic could inspect vehicles, the regulations are clear: only those with appropriate certification from the DMV are qualified to conduct safety inspections. This regulation is designed to prevent unqualified individuals from performing potentially dangerous oversight on vehicle safety.
