A car may pass but with notices which means that components are either worn or inoperative but either they are still serviceable or that particular component cannot fail a vehicle in inspection. If a vehicle fails a safety inspection but the car is still deemed safe to drive a sticker is placed over the current inspection sticker, green in even years and half green, half orange in odd years, indicating that the vehicle has failed inspection and the month that the re-inspection is due.
A car may pass with warnings, indicating that its components are either damaged or non-functional; however, these parts can still be used or a specific part cannot lead to the vehicle failing an inspection. If a vehicle fails an inspection but remains safe to drive, a sticker is placed over the existing inspection sticker.
