“The byproduct will be a reduction of safety on the highways.”
I call bullshit.
Cars pass inspection one day, and can be dangerous the next and stay that way for a year. Inspection is just a money grab for the state, and a chance for mechanics to generate income.
Removing mandatory inspection doesn’t make it legal to drive a dangerous car, they can still require good tires, good brakes, etc. without forcing you to prove it one day per year.
Other states have no annual inspection and you don’t hear about carnage due to everyone driving around on bald tires and no working brakes.
And all the people said AMEN to your post.
Inspections in Texas are a royal PIA. All sorts of timing limitations. Just a real pain. Very few states have them. Some are limited to urban areas, such as Arizona.
OMG!! What we would do without inspections!!! /sarc.
Since the 20’s, people did their own inspections. If the car was NOT road ready, people fixed the issues and made it road ready! Like somebody else said, it is just a money grab by the state governments. They should have added, that emission inspections be eliminated.
