No brakes, bald tires, broken lights—what could possibly go wrong?
Glad to see you came down on the more gubmint side of this argument.

That’s been the norm in Texas for years. Look at half the cars with expired renewal stickers in lower income areas.
People carry no insurance, their cars won’t pass inspection. And who has $80 to renew the annual registration?
Mexicans and South Carolinians!
“No brakes, bald tires, broken lights—what could possibly go wrong?”
In my original home state of Maryland, you only had to have a vehicle inspected when you sold it. Of course any LEO could give you an inspection ticket to make you put it through inspection.
And, if your insurance lapsed, they sent you a notice and they would make you turn in your tags.
They did make you get the emissions test every two years, but we all knew that was a pure money grab.
I would hope it would mean fewer cars with fake paper tags, but I suspect that most of those don’t have insurance so they still won’t be able to be registered.
