a small percentage of people let the condition of their cars slide when they don't get inspected. But you are focusing on the process and not the outcome. Regardless of the conditions of the vehicles on the road there is no data that shows states with inspections have less accidents, injuries and deaths than states without vehicle inspections. That is where the rubber meets the road, pardon the pun. The post after yours by black300zx made a generic comment about data interpretation, and I would be remiss if I did not point out your interpretation shows one of the most common pitfalls and errors people make - they focus on the process and the intermediary steps instead of the outcomes. Now, I could be wrong about the outcomes, I haven't looked for the data in quite some time, but I believe the issue was felt to be settled when states like Florida, who used to have safety inspections, did away with them. Finally, your social commentary about stupid people and danger is also a bias and peripheral which again, is not supported by the outcomes. If you feel compelled to respond you may have the last word, because the point is proven, QED. Ostee Out.
