Dangerous Cars mechanics encounter

That's what car inspections are for - too bad that's a whole 'nother can of worms, and shysters.
I believe the statistics of how many accidents are caused by the defects, don't come close to the accidents caused by distractions like cell phones.
 
It's one thing for something to break, it's a bit different and human to ignore a noise, hoping it's nothing.

It's a seriously psychological disorder to pile trash in your car.................and MOST of the rest of that!
My wife worked at my son's school and often handled the car line. She was constantly amazed at the number of cars that had interiors resembling the inside of a dumpster.

Not dangerous but disgusting.
I used to see many like this before I retired - took a few photos so my wife would believe me.
Most people would be embarrassed to let anyone see their car like this.
Let alone allow their children to sit in something like this.
The minivans seemed to most often get like this.

and to think these are the people we share the road with! Makes me think of why that driver in front of me IS going THAT slow.. now I kind of know why! 😳

Well that can be up for debate... I agree with knowingly ignoring odd noises, etc., but after having lost ALL hearing not too long ago I don't have a choice these days. I do pay close attention to the way the car feels, have others that ride with me to listen for odd things, use a decibel/vibration meter app on my phone to pick up any sort of spikes, etc. Can't begin to count how many people I know/see that pretty much jump into a vehicle and if it starts and drives they think all must be good to go.

I worked as an emissions Inspector and on a few occasions the car smelled so raunchy that I gagged then refused to sit in it and test it. One co worker must have had no sense of smell as he'd always jump in. Then add vehicle that had the chords or bits of steel belts showing and nope no test.
 
So bad. So many straps, or even just loose structural parts…

These people drive, and vote. Scary. Dangerous on so many levels. So irresponsible. I get it that shop labor is excessively high in many cases. And that repairs aren’t cheap.. but these are insane…
 
I worry more about the road rage and small holes that can be added to your car driving in this state, than anything shown in those videos.
