What records should NOT be returned to the department if the inspection mechanic is cancelled?

• A. Unused monthly insert tabs
• B. Drivers license
• C. Inspection records
• D. Certificate of appointment

Answer: (B)

The drivers license should not be returned to the department if the inspection mechanic is cancelled because it is personal property of the driver and does not pertain to the inspection mechanic's certification or operation. The drivers license signifies an individual’s legal ability to drive and is unrelated to the mechanical inspection process. In contrast, unused monthly insert tabs, inspection records, and the certificate of appointment are all associated with the mechanics' authorization and operation as part of the inspection process. These items are considered part of the official inspection documentation and, therefore, should be returned to ensure compliance and proper regulatory adherence. In short, the drivers license remains with the individual while the items related to the inspection mechanic are returned to maintain accurate records with the department of transportation.
