Vehicle safety inspections are a racket for some states.

Do Mandatory Vehicle Inspections Really Make Us Safer? - The American Consumer Institute Center for Citizen Research

I have a 2020 automobile with about 40,000 miles on it. I was leasing it but when I went to the dealership to turn in the lease they had nothing on the lot but electrics and hybrids for $50,000 to $70,000. I went to some other dealerships and encountered the same issue. I bought the car and got a service contract with it which I have already used. I just spent a pretty penny inspecting and registering the car.

Did you know there are states that do not require vehicle safety inspections and there is zero evidence in those states that lack of safety inspections causes more accidents? So, I think we can assume that vehicle safety inspection laws in New Hampshire are a racket for the state to collect money. If you buy a brand-new automobile in New Hampshire you have to pay to get it inspected. If you have low mileage on fairly new car, you still have to get that car inspected. That is a racket.

In my city, which is in Cheshire County, Dementia is rampant. The city leadership in its wisdom, decided that the best way to fight Dementia in the county was to build a bigger liquor on the city line. It is an aging city and many of its drivers like that liquor which is mixed with the prescribed medications coursing through their veins. So, the reality on the roads here is that you are in far more danger from bald drunks than you are from bald tires.

But that is how they roll in New Hampshire.

Not likely.

I hand the guy $20 and my registration and he sends his office side piece out with a sticker and that is the extent of my inspection. That said, I do keep our rides road worthy. I'll pay a few bucks to have someone check the brakes if I think there is an issue, I will replace all tires at once as soon as one of them gets worn, and lights take no time to replace these days. All our cars warn you in some way directly or indirectly about this stuff.

Not likely.

Would you care to expand on your fantastic writing skills?

 

[Raynine]

No one gets in a car to have an accident. There are bad drivers of course but many of them have state inspected cars.

S. Carolina done away with vehicle inspections 30 years ago.

The fee was not enough for shops to take the time to do a real inspection. Most shops in my area would just give you the sticker and let you put it on the car yourself.

I said all I needed to say.

Hell, ours used to be twice a year! Talk about a PITA. Once a year now and as state requirements go I'm fine with it.

One only has to see the rusted-out shit buckets coming out of WV to see the value of it.....That and it keeps the illegal's 90s era Accords and Camrays up to speed.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

Yes, our gov't has priced many people out of buying new vehicles.

MN had them, then ditched em.

 

[Raynine]

I know people who have given up on owning a car. It is just too expensive for them.

its a racquet in all states

In Florida there was a revolt about the subject. Bob Graham (D) ran on getting rid of it and won by a large margin.

$20 for 2 years, and 5 minutes

 

[petro]

The one good thing Governor Jesse Ventura did for MN was get rid of that inconvenience of vehicle inspections.
It was just another burden and tax on the poor.

All part of their agenda.

Trump is against it, that's why they hate him so much.
