Ehhhh.

NJ got rid of safety inspections a couple years ago and the number of cars with missing headlights, bald tires, bad brakes, and other very unsafe maladies has skyrocketed.
Back in the day...one had to take at least a half day off from work to get inspected at a state run inspection station...... A Full Day to do anything at DMV

Fun Fact..... they checked brakes by stopping distance....a trooper would get in, floor it and SLAM on the brakes......
Where do I apply for that job?

You're right. Any laws that people are liable to break should just be stricken from the books.

Safety inspections are one thing I didn’t have in Florida that I am happy to pay for in Virginia because it helps keep raggedy ass cars off the roads.

In Virginia it’s not as easy to get away with it because state police will either prosecute the driver or the shop that “falsely passed” a non-roadworthy vehicle.

But by your logic why have laws at all if people will break them???

Ohio is a great example of why rust belt states should have mandatory safety inspections.

:dat: and fix-it tickets were and now also non-existent, unlike cali until recently. In our area in particular, emmision regulations are also more stricter as opposed to rest of VA. I remember back in dead forum some local :turboyaris: owners had issues with stage 2 for passing the inspection. We recently adopted detectors too like in Cali for couple years now.

You might as well call the Nova/dc metro area as east coast of commifornia for that alone

Phone interview earlier seemed to go well, but hard to read emotion over the phone. Interviewed with the manager of contracts, said I'd hear early next week about a phone or in-person interview with whoever I'd report to as a direct supervisor if I got the job. See what happens.
