Interesting being that Texas is a no fault state and they have some highways with posted limits exceeding 70 mph.
Texas about to do away with auto inspections
- Thread starter rekit
- Start date
Send me a correlation with drunk driver / distracted driver / driving too fast for conditions, or even if the stated condition contributed to the accident at all or just existed. Bad brakes, but I ran a stop light because I was texting - should be blame that on the brakes? Just because the condition existed doesn't make it the cause.
32% of traffic deaths involve alcohol. Lets ban alcohol - would be OK with me.
Motorcyle's represent about 20% of all traffic deaths nationally, but represent a very tiny number of overall miles driven. I suggest we simply ban motorcycles?
18% of traffic deaths are pedestrians. We should ban all motor vehicles, or all pedestrians.
The last 3 were sarcasm, just to be clear.

Let’s ban the pedestrians. They are wearing down the sidewalks and street crossing buttons without paying any gas taxes or registration fees
How about we keep it optional and see how much shops charge for such service? People who want it done can do it as everyone should be responsible for themselves.
The place I had been going to the last 10 years was great until they need to expand and getting creative with their insoection failure causes. I used to tip them $10-$15 per a $20 inspection snd that meant nothing because ai do my own maintenance and the preventative care such as brakes and tires are done else where.
All you need to do is look at all the auto/body parts along I-45 in Houston to realize inspections are necessary. I know there are downsides to it, and Nebraska did away with them years ago because it became a license to steal, but there are some real beaters around here that need to be monitored.
Effort to Kill State Vehicle Safety Inspections Advances in Texas Senate
The Texas Senate voted Sunday night to advance a bill that would kill vehicle safety inspections. But, an amendment added to the bill would push back the end of inspections by two years, until 2025.www.nbcdfw.com
From what I've heard some States w/o inspections do them on the side of the road randomly? And of course you still gotta pay $7.50 fee. Of course......There are so many bad cars on the road that would never pass as it is.
Drivers will think they are better off till they get tickets for lights out. Will cost a lot more than the inspection would have. How is it in your State?
Give it time......Let’s ban the pedestrians. They are wearing down the sidewalks and street crossing buttons without paying any gas taxes or registration fees
Definitely I agree. Tesla Also prohibits 3rd party vendors from selling to consumers
There are 13 states with no inspection of any kind. Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Florida, Washington, and Wyoming.
Is there a correlation to traffic accidents and deaths in these states vs others?

Yes- i expect a nationwide inspection very soon. How else are they going to get cars off the road….
With all of the current vehicles that pollute very little and ev's with no tailpipe emissions (but at the power station) many cities have seen zero difference in air quality after removing emissions testing. St. Paul had emissions testing as did Louisville Ky for years. They spent alot to set up stations and contract out to one of a few emissions companies. They tracked air quality and it was no worse after cancelling emissions testing.

Agree - we funded new sidewalks and entries from city limit to city limit - (both sides) and have seen two people use them - both appeared to be border crossers …Let’s ban the pedestrians. They are wearing down the sidewalks and street crossing buttons without paying any gas taxes or registration fees
Texas has & always will be #1 in fatal car crashes, Texas has more high speed 2 lane blacktop than any other state.

Maryland only inspects vehicles on registration. So many unsafe pieces of crap on the road here. Winter driving is a joke. We need inspections bad. Cops here no longer give tickets for most anything because they can only pursue the most felonious of crimes. So if a car with dead tags or taillight out runs from them they cant pursue. Its a joke. Hooray for modern USA.

Good point, Chris - Bad as I hate 1-10 and the speed driven there - every near miss for me (have never been a driver in a collision) or know of others who wrecked - it’s been FM two lanes …
(See roadside monuments) …
I’ll go down to 1 car for whole family if that happens. If needed to, it will be registered in Canada where there is no inspection and no cops on roads and very little accidents.
