If the owner of the car truly believes that the car has passed the inspection (pass sticker from a designated inspection facility), why would you put them through the ordeal of having their car towed on the spot if the "defect" doesn't pose an immediate safety hazard? Unless a wheel is about to fall off, what's wrong with issuing a fix it order?
On another note: Vehicle manufacturers are allowed to install suspension that is adjustable from inside the car. Why is aftermarket equipment that does the same thing illegal? Surely it is safer than pulling to the side of the road, getting out, crawling under the car, fiddling with the damper knobs, etc.. when you get to a rough road.
