§ 301-a. Re-inspection of motor vehicles involved in certain
accidents. 1. The commissioner may require that a motor vehicle
registered in this state or elsewhere which is required to be inspected,
be re-inspected after it is involved in a property damage accident which
is required to be reported to the motor vehicle department. Such
re-inspection shall be made within sixty days of the date of the
accident if the motor vehicle is driven away from the accident site.
Such re-inspection shall be made before the vehicle is operated on the
public highways if the motor vehicle is towed or transported from the
accident site, except that a motor vehicle may be driven from a repair
shop to an inspection station for the purpose of being re-inspected.

2. The owner of a car so damaged shall be required to submit to the
department within the same time limit as provided in subdivision one of
this section satisfactory proof of re-inspection pursuant to rules and
regulations to be promulgated by the commissioner.

3. Failure to submit such proof of re-inspection as herein provided
shall constitute ground for suspension or revocation of his privileges
of operating a motor vehicle in this state and of the operation within
this state of any motor vehicle owned by him.
