True or False: Military vehicles may not pass safety checks due to non-compliance with FMVSS.

Military vehicles often do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) because they are typically designed for specific operational needs rather than for public road use. These vehicles can include armored transports, tactical trucks, and other specialized equipment that may not meet the safety standards applied to civilian vehicles. Due to their unique designs and intended purposes, these military vehicles may lack required features that ensure adherence to safety regulations.

As a result, when military vehicles undergo a safety inspection, they are often found to be non-compliant with the FMVSS. This non-compliance can lead to the conclusion that they may not pass traditional safety checks performed on standard passenger vehicles.

The other options suggest varying degrees of compliance based on contexts like special circumstances or vehicle age, but in general, military vehicles are held to different safety standards than civilian vehicles, leading to a consistent inability to meet FMVSS requirements in a safety check scenario. Thus, the statement is true.
