I've lived in states that have required no safety inspections at all for my whole life, and I don't know anybody whose car was "grossly unsafe" (much less, not road-worthy) just because the state didn't inspect it. The only cars I've EVER seen on the road in Chicago that I would deem unsafe are driven by people who wouldn't bother getting the damn inspections, anyway. And "combined totals for all reported equipment failure accounts for less than 5% of all motor vehicle accidents." You should worry more about how easily driver's licenses are given away, and less about allowing the government fine us for things like a cracked windshield.
"When you say this, will you be surprised if your arguments seem to move about instead of staying put? And will you accuse me of being Daedalus who makes them move, though you are yourself much more skillful than Daedalus and make them go around in a circle? Or do you not realize that our argument has moved around and come again to the same place? [...] Or do you not remember?" - Socrates |
