After living in NH for 3 years, and before lived in CO; i'd say the real actual reason for inspections has something to do with new and used car industry, the salt industry, and the state.

All colluding, because they are all making a fuck ton of money on you having to either fix or more likely trade your vehicle in for a new or used one.

It's ultimately, a way to prop up the auto industry in NE, and consumers incur the costs.

I haven't researched any of this but just from observations, and personal experience, I'd say I'm 80Percent correct.

Not all states use salt fyi, most don't. Nebraska uses recycled glass pulverized to sand. Colorado uses magnesium cloride.

Honestly the salt industry should pay for it's proven impact on roads and vehicles. But like all things, you and I pay. I bet the salt co gets subsidized via your property taxes.

Cheers!

Magnesium Chloride is salt. People want to drive at highway speed when traveling on a highway. During the winter, that isn't going to happen without salt in some form. If the roads aren't treated, vehicles slide off the road or into other vehicles and travel comes to a stop.

Yah, but NA Cl is far more corrosive! No shyt it prevents the obv. But I think this so called solution is a means to make you buy a vehicle every 5 years...in Colorado this doesn't happen. Vehicles never die out here. Just saying, just because you are used to it, doesn't mean it's the best option. Complacency leads to acceptance, which the general public veiws as normal. When infact if we took our heads out of our asses we,d realized you don't need to stand forward in an elevator and there are far better less harmful means to de ice a road.

We aren't even getting Into the saline increase after a storm Into the marshes and tidal areas. Shit is a big ass elephant in the room and NH and NE will probably realize how bad it will be in like 10 years.

I have a serious question, where are the critical thinkers in NH? They probably left I imagine.

Do you maybe think that being one of the dryest states in the Country may have something to do with the decreased rust in Colorado?

WHERE ARE ALL OF THE CRITICAL THINKERS!!! NO ONE WANTS TO THINK ANYMORE! /s
