Wife’s rogue failed inspection. Is this legal?

A gold plated "deck" screw and a "multi-purpose construction screw" , both Home Depot hardware, would give someone a reason to look closer at what's going on there.

Whenever I get a crack like that I just fix it with a screw down the middle like the picture, it's really strong. NOT! BTW, that weld in the 2nd picture is horrible!

You’re right I can’t know with absolute certainty. But still I should be able to make the decision or not whether my family drives this car. There are many people that drive older, unsafe cars, like cars without airbags at all because they are too old. I won’t safety shame them and tell them they are some sort of awful person for driving that older car with passengers. Do you think this rogue is more dangerous to drive than a 1920s car? Should people who own 1920s car be forbidden from driving them because of safety? What about Kei-trucks? The government is trying to ban those because they’re not safe. Let people choose what they want, especially if it is not hurting others.

Safety for government has dualist purpose. One, yes, it's to keep people safe. Two though, it also is economic stimulus for the state. Either you're paying a pro welder good money and then that becomes tax revenue for the state. Or you're buying another car and paying the usual DMV fees.
Now, in Georgia, you're probably around Atlanta. Well, there's very big host of "unpredictable" road people in that area, be it due to drugs or medical reasons. The case of Hannah Payne highlights that. The guy she shot dead later initially had a "medical episode" that caused him to run a red and go into a tractor trailer.

Florida is apparently more hands off than Georgia but that might be because Florida has their own economic incentive to be more lax with rebuilt titles than Georgia.
