That's not as bad I guess.
We used to have rolling inspections by the state patrol, there would be random spots they'd set up and motion cars in. It was a quick inspection, lights, horn, tires - just basic things. I think the last time I saw one of those was about 1988. I think they still do those, but I haven't seen one in decades.
Just did some research, seems like only the Cleveland area requires inspections now.
They require emissions checking, but no one requires vehicle safety inspections AFAIK.
A lot more cities used to require that, but some - like Dayton - have a major interstate running through them with lots of thru traffic Was kind of worthless to check local cars when 10x more drove through every day.
