In Virginia we have to have an annual inspection, this is run by our state police, when I first started driving it was every 6 months. I found this most annoying but not anymore.
Now my rant.
In MD a person gets a safety inspection when they register the car. In DC only cars for hire need to get the safety inspection. On my way to work this morning there was a car from MD that had no muffler, the noise was not calming. My guess is the person can drive like this as long as they want. They can have bad breaks, tires, and many safety issues for long periods putting others at risk.
I get a mandatory inspection, they check for a lot of safety things. The plus side to this, I know my breaks, tires, lights and so on are in working condition as well as my fellow VA drivers.
Does your state have safety inspections? Who runs the program?
