I'm have spoken with folks that agree with safety inspections. I gave up counting how many folks are running around with 1 out of 3 brake lights functioning.
BTW, my folks had to get rid of a more or less mint malibu b/c the frame was rusting in one spot (only blemish on the car) but fixing it properly would have cost more than it was worth. Not considering future corrosion.
It's not what you see or what proof that you or I have. Has anyone ever got out of a car that was rearended and immediately looked at the brake pad/rotor condition of the car that hit them? No. You assume that all PM is done and it was driver error. Well driver error extends far beyond the steering wheel. The MINIMUM requirements are the recommended services in the owners manual. Look around. How many folks even follow those? Ever see a 'bald' tire? Take a look at the suv or camaro/stang you passed.
There seem to be the same number service station per capita here as any where else, your employment subsidy theory doesn't hold water. Inspection fees are legislated and don't compare to the going shop rate (which is screwy anyway).
