True or False: New non-motor carrier vehicles do not need to be inspected before they are sold.

New non-motor carrier vehicles are subject to inspection before they can be sold to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations. In Hawaii, all vehicles must meet certain safety criteria before being registered, which includes an inspection process to identify any potential issues that might affect their safe operation on the road. This requirement applies regardless of whether the vehicle is under warranty or where it is purchased.

This ensures that the vehicles are roadworthy and meet state regulations aimed at protecting the public from accidents that may arise from mechanical failures. As such, the assertion that new non-motor carrier vehicles do not need to be inspected before sale is false. Proper inspection contributes to overall vehicle safety, enhances public confidence, and establishes a baseline for maintaining vehicle standards.
