There are many things wrong with what you said.

For one thing, getting your car Inspected can save YOU from problems with YOUR OWN CAR

Also, it definitely helps catch tons of issues with tons and tons of cars and it undeniably makes the world more safe.

You seem to think that if something doesn’t work 100% of the time, it’s useless and should be done away with. So let me just tell you, doors locks don’t work 100% of the time, either. Are you going to remove all of yours?

How often should it work to be considered an effective policy, then? I've been to inspectors across the state and found the same issues.

If 90% of people were paying off the inspectors to approve their dangerous cars, I would agree with you that there needs to be change. But somehow I think the actual number is much much much much much much much much much much much much much much lower than that.

You know who pays off inspectors to pass their cars? People with junkers that shouldn't be on the road. So while it's a low percentage, it's an important one

It doesn’t matter. Vehicle safety inspections make the road significantly safer. It doesn’t matter if some things slip through, all that matters is the overall net effect. You need to think rationally and logically instead of emotionally.

99% of houses that are broken into had their doors locked. I can’t believe you got scammed by Big Door into buying locks!
