What is a scraper used for in the inspection process?

A scraper is primarily used to remove old stickers during the inspection process. This is particularly important because old or improperly applied stickers can obscure important information, such as the vehicle’s registration or inspection status. Removing them helps ensure that the inspector can easily verify that all required decals are current and properly displayed.

The tool allows for a clean and efficient removal of materials stuck to surfaces, ensuring that inspectors can perform a thorough examination of the vehicle. Furthermore, any residue left behind from old stickers can be addressed, providing a clearer view of the condition and details on the vehicle's surfaces.

This function of the scraper plays a crucial role in maintaining an organized and compliant vehicle presentation, which is vital for proper motor vehicle inspection.
