§ 680.117. Safety of vehicle; inspection.  


Latest version.
  • With respect to a motor vehicle required to be inspected under Section 680.104(a) through (f), any law enforcement officer may at any time, upon reasonable cause to believe that the motor vehicle is unsafe or not equipped as required by law, or that its equipment is not in proper adjustment or repair, require the operator of the motor vehicle to stop and submit the vehicle to inspection and such tests with reference thereto as may be appropriate. In the event that the motor vehicle is found to be in an unsafe condition or a required part or equipment is not present or is not in proper repair and adjustment and continued operation of the motor vehicle would, in the opinion of the law enforcement officer, probably present an unduly hazardous operating condition, the officer may require the motor vehicle to be immediately repaired or removed from use. If continued use or operation would not present unduly hazardous operating conditions, the officer shall give written notice to require proper repair and adjustment of the motor vehicle within 48 hours, excluding Sunday.
