In an effort to speed up the process and lower the frustration, car inspectors are relaxing passing requirements in New Jersey. Every two years, car owners are required by law to have their car inspected by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to make sure it is suitable to drive. Previously, if a car was failing in one category, the inspection was rejected and the driver would be told to come back at another time to have the problem fixed. Starting next week, small violations will not warrant a second trip to the DMV. The agency is easing restrictions, passing cars with minor flaws such rust on a cars body or bumper, missing one license plate and missing or cracked turn signal lights. Many drivers were thankful for the timesaving change DMV has made. However, drivers will be required to fix the flaws within 60 days. Police will ticket those who fail to do so.
