Govt vehicles and equipment gets away with not being inspected.. which annoys me to no end...

Good afternoon men. You guys and your damn inspections. None of that crap back here, and that’s just fine with me! Waiting for the bug guy to show up, gotta get the daughter at school at 3, then run a few more errands.

No ANNUAL inspections in MD... but we do have emissions every 3 years I believe it is... it's just a $ maker for the state tho.... if no codes, no problem... but it sure ain't free either. No diesels require inspection either...just gas powered.

No inspections of any kind required here. There used to be “vehicle safety inspections” back in the early 70’s, but, the did away with them.

Trouble is that people were/are too lazy, don't know how. don't care, don't take their vehicles in for service or check ups. Most people never check the tire air pressure. That's why the Feds required the TPMS. Safety inspections are a good idea but, most inspections cater to EPA emissions requirements.
Like Bud mentioned, most of this crap is to get money for the gov't. NY State's "tire fee" charges $2.50/tire the tire places get to keep $.25 and have to dispose of the tire.
