Abstract
California has combined the best features of the random and periodic methods of vehicle inspection in a multipronged attack on the operation of unsafe vehicles. Specially trained personnel of the California Highway Patrol conduct vehicle inspections at random locations throughout the state, at fixed commercial vehicle inspection facilities, and at fleet owners' terminals to ensure compliance with statutory regulations. As a result of this balanced approach, the California motorist is provided with a quality vehicle inspection without economic hardship.
