Do you remember the days when we either had to take off work or wait in long Saturday lines to get our cars "smog tested" for $19.50? Fortunately that went by the wayside around here, but it's still going strong in other parts of the country where air quality problems continue.
But did you know that fifteen other states have periodic safety inspections? In Pennsylvania, your suspension, steering, tires/wheels, brakes, electrical and lighting systems, defrosters, windshield wipers, speedometer, odometer, horns, fuel system, chassis and mirrors are checked for proper operation every year. How do drivers in the other thirty-five states get by, without the government holding their hands? Just fine.
