A lot of it has to do with there not being a set price for state inspections. A place that charges 20 bucks is gunna try and dig around and find stuff to up charge you more than a place that charges 55. State inspection only need to be safety inspections but have turned into revenue generators

Which is why we need state-run inspection stations. That way it's either pass or fail, without any conflict of interest.

Although it’s only emissions, in nj it’s drive through state inspections and they have a camera so you can check busy level before you go. Never had an issue with waiting and I lived in a major city

No inspections but if you breakdown you have 2 hours to get off the side of the road

No inspections but if it was determined your crash was because of an unsafe vehicle you’re 100% liable for all damages. That would get people squared the fuck away real quick

It's a catch22 like our insurance law.. only people i know without it are the ones who need it the most. Same applies here I'd bet.

But am small government guy so sucks either way.
