Are headlights required to be aligned properly during an inspection?

Headlights must be properly aimed as part of the inspection process because improperly aligned headlights can create significant safety issues. When headlights are misaligned, they can either cause glare for oncoming drivers, leading to increased hazard, or provide inadequate illumination of the roadway for the driver. Ensuring that headlights are aimed correctly helps to maximize visibility during night driving and reduces the risk of accidents. Proper headlight alignment is a standard requirement in vehicle inspections to promote safe driving conditions. This requirement applies to all vehicles regardless of their age, making it crucial for the overall safety of both the driver and others on the road.
