Yes you can. When you register at the DMV they will give you a 10 day temporary inspection tag so you can get the car ready for a true inspection.

How much does it typically cost to register a vehicle. No tax needs to be paid.

I kinda wish they would get rid of the annual inspection like they've done in other states. For the most part, they don't really check much beyond a check engine light and anything can break 6 months down the line so what are we proving here by this song and dance? Also, nothing has blown up in all those other places with no inspections. Even NJ has 2 year inspections. All I know is over the years when I try to take my car in, there is suddenly lots they want to charge me for (always on a newer cars with no problems, lights, etc), but when my husband does, no problem - he actually knows the BS they are trying to sell. This has happened in multiple shops over the years. I can't stand it.

^ Yes they try to scam women and the elderly to make an extra buck. You could always try and sound knowledgeable beforehand by saying any one of a handful of things about particular parts of the car. (ie. The cabin filter is probably dirty but that's not an inspection requirement right?)

As far as the inspection itself, they check for turn signals and such too... general safety stuff. Yes anything can break during the year but the point is there's a deadline for you to get it fixed. Read here on everything they look for: What Happens During A New York State Vehicle Inspection?

Have you seen the old Pimp My Ride shows based in California where before they fixed it up, the car was falling apart with side mirrors and bumpers hanging on by a thread? Do you want these types of cars flying down the LIE at 65mph in front of you?
