What type of vehicle would typically require an annual inspection?

A commercial truck typically requires an annual inspection due to its weight, usage, and the impact it has on road safety and infrastructure. These vehicles are subject to more stringent regulations because they often carry heavier loads and are on the road more frequently than personal vehicles. Annual inspections ensure that commercial trucks meet safety, emissions, and operational standards, which helps to ensure the safety of the driver and others on the road.

In contrast, bicycles do not require inspections as they are not motor vehicles and do not pose the same risks regarding road safety and emissions. New passenger vehicles that are less than two years old are also generally exempt from inspections for some time, while vehicles manufactured in the year 2000 or later may not specifically require annual inspections unless they fall into categories that do, such as those that are commercially used. Thus, the focus on commercial trucks reflects the higher need for adherence to safety protocols in commercial transportation.
