5353

No vehicle that has been found to have mechanical defects in its essential parts, in its emission control systems or that lacks equipment as promulgated by the Secretary through regulations shall continue to travel on the public roads, except during the grace period that may be granted to correct such defects. Neither shall those vehicles that have not submitted to inspection on the dates indicated by the Secretary continue to travel on the public roads. To such effects, the determination that a vehicle does not meet the safety conditions and control of pollutant emissions required by law shall have the same legal consequences as if no license had been issued to the vehicle to travel on the public roads.\nHistory —Jan. 7, 2000, No. 22, § 12.03, eff. 1 year after Jan. 7, 2000.
