Do I need to inspect my car?

Question

I bought my car in February and my birthday was in June. The person who owned it before me had gotten it inspected in December....can I wait until December or do I have to do it now?

Answer 1

Look at the date on the sticker on the window.  That will show when it expires - you will need to get it inspected before the end of that month.

Answer 2

You've left out some important details.  It all depends on the laws of the state you live in.  Do you have an inspection sticker?  And if yes, when does it expire?  And if no, then you need to follow the laws of your community.  In Georgia, everything is done by your birthdate.  In West Virginia, it's done by the date you register your car with the state.  In other states, they have a preset date.  As I said, you have left out some important details to be able to fully answer this question.
