I wouldn’t stand in front of it.

Minnesota doesn’t inspect cars. You should see the junk on the roads

Same here in Florida. Florida used to have car inspections but did away with that around 1980. I have had old near-beater cars in my youth because that was all I could afford at the time. But I kept them in safe condition - good brakes and tires and all headlights working. I see cars that are literally junk. Cars that have been in accidents and are sort of twisted (you have to see it to believe it) but still on the road. Plenty of cars with one headlight working and no running lights or tail lights. And it’s not all junker cars. I really love it when I see an expensive SUV with a lot of bling but the owner can’t be bothered to replace a burned-out headlight. Some idiot could crash into me because he is too cheap to have the brakes fixed. I’m sure the illegal aliens in Texas will drive nice, well-maintained, safe cars.

I watch the "Just Rolled In" channel on YouTube. Basically, it's a mechanic documenting the horribly unsafe cars that come into his shop, the criminally bad work by other "mechanics", and the stupid and dangerous stuff that owners do to their vehicles. Here's a sample...

Yeah, I don't like mandatory inspections, but I always take care of my vehicles. But many people don't, and even when their vehicles are showing unmistakable symptoms of major problems, they keep driving them.
