State Vehicle changing

[Fishkiller]

I doubt that scenario as my last 4 "safety inspections" were blow the horn give me $7.00. How safe was I? The only folks that seem to be upset are the folks doing the inspections. And even tho the inspections are no longer require the fee still is. Just a money grab.

Im not sure how I feel about that. There are too many irresponsible people, but I want government out too. When I was younger, a state inspection actually meant something - they looked at your brakes, fluid levels, seat belts, checked your parking brake... - Now I drive to a Jiffy Lube and they check my lights and see if I've got squirter fluid - done. Kinda worthless IMHO.

inspections don't prevent idiots and just inconvenience the common man.
if it were a more righteous world we wouldn't have vehicle registrations either.

THIS HAS FAILURE WRITTEN ALL OVER IT! THE POTENTIAL FOR MASSIVE NUMBERS OF VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THAT ARE UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROD IS GOING TO RISE!

those have been there, and nothing changes. ergo it is a moot point to want inspections in the first place.

Oklahoma did away with it years ago....

And front plates

Agreed.....I'm from Cali where all they have is an emission check. You wouldn't believe the number of junkers running around that somehow passed an emission check. Either they have a friend at a test center or stolen year tag. One thing I like here is the annual tag is inside the windshield.....in Cali, it's affixed to the rear license plate. You have to run an xacto knife thru it several times to make it difficult to remove.

I’d venture we’ve all seen worn tires, bad shocks, aged wiper blades, etc. pass inspection.

Surely wish they’d still inspect for headlight AIM, though.

cry me a river with your Californian bullshit, its my right to drive an absolute clunker if it gets me from A to B

Never have had an emissions test on my '90 Cressida, but it has been difficult over the years to get an inspection sticker.
Always kept in touch with other tuner car people on where to take it.
Big cams, no cat, large exhaust, 1500 rpm idle, etc., etc..
But the car is always immaculate, and people working in most garages liked what they were looking at, so they didn't ask too many questions, or look too close.

I hope someone's lights are too dim to see you and you get clobbered. Yeah, I've only physically been here for 5 years but mentally I left Cali years before that.

What I’ve noticed over the years is that many states that initiated state vehicle inspections - typically, back in the mid to late sixties, have in more recent years done away with them. More often than not, due to the public’s perception they really accomplished very little in the way of making the roadways safer. And as the “inspections” became more and more watered down, the public began to view them just as a way for the state to collect more “tax” revenue.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Well, the "tax revenue" continues, even without the inspection...

Unlikely, how many states require inspection anymore, several that I lived in dropped it years ago.

i keep my car in tip top shape and I can drive worth a damn, maybe you should be the one that is careful on the roads boy.

 

[GennadiyB]

I mean those inspections were a bit of a joke anyway, no offense of course to the hard working God fearing Americans doing them

In all my years of inspection only one lightbulb was found needing replacement.

I needed a blinker bulb replaced in my truck last month.
