The form T-228 is an essential affidavit for motorcyclists or motor scooter enthusiasts in Georgia looking to obtain a title for their vehicle. Its comprehensive nature requires thorough completion, adhering to specific guidelines laid out to ensure the motor vehicle meets the state and federal standards for road use. The process is meticulous, involving multiple steps, including a crucial inspection to verify that the motorcycle or scooter complies with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety standards. This involves a Certification of Inspection (Form T-22B) conducted by a Georgia law enforcement officer, which must accompany the completed affidavit. The form itself covers detailed questions regarding the vehicle's capability, such as its engine size, power, and manufacturing intent for lawful highway use. Failure to meet any of these criteria means the vehicle won't be eligible for a title or license plate. The form accentuates the need for accuracy and honesty, mandating that it be filled out legibly and correctly by the vehicle's owner or selling dealer, demonstrating the stringent measures in place to ensure that only road-worthy motorcycles and scooters are certified for use on public roads. It concludes with a segment for notarization, underscoring the affidavit's legal significance.
