I see that you don’t live in Texas.
No I don’t live in Texas. I have relatives there and live slightly north in Oklahoma. I apologize if I misunderstand the Texas situation. I have been involved in and studied inspection programs and am just stating what I’ve seen and learned. As to your other post about random traffic stops, no I do not favor that really. It would be more effective though as many cars are fixed just good enough to pass today, barely.
