Just another 2 cents worth (and probably overpriced) - Maryland has a god-awful inspection. They check everything but the primer under the paint. And its about $55 last time I checked. BUT, and it's a big BUT, it's only required once when the car is registered. Many time I've wondered how many three and four year old cars are running around with worn out brakes, bad shocks, poor wipers, etc. And I know the majority have defective turn signals - nobody uses them. Anyway, a yearly SAFETY inspection at a reasonable price makes sense. I think the only reason there is not more mayhem on the highways here is because most of the cars are fairly new. Seldom do you see a beater on the road. Actually, there are a lot of accidents here - I95, I 495, 295, Rt1, etc. A day when accidents on the local highways are NOT announced is rare. Rush hour backups due to accidents are common. You have to ask how many of these accidents were caused or worsened by faulty equipment. /soapbox off/

Good point VAsheriff. AS for the drunk who has no pot to **** in or a window to throw it out. It would not matter because if I am in those shoes where he has hit my wife a children when my friends and I are done with him he will need no pot to **** in. AS stated by VAsheriff driving is a privilege not a right.

I wont even start on the whole BS "CARB" exemptions needed for ANY aftermarket engine related parts.
Hey dude, we got plenty of stuff here that stinks without you adding false rumors.
