I agree that there is certainly no guarantee that an annual inspection is going to catch everything or that it's going to stop all equipment failure. But it helps. My mechanic found that our Wrangler had a cracked and seriously rusted frame long before I ever noticed any issue. You get used to driving a vehicle and it's peculiarities. An inspection caught that for us. I'm long since retired now, but I've seen a LOT of uninspected vehicles with a laundry list of issues and a driver who was well aware of many of them. Does that mean I think NYS should be able to charge me 20 plus bucks to put a vehicle I've just had repaired and gone over 6 weeks before up on a rack just to get that sticker? Nope, but I think the system itself is a good idea. I won't even get into emissions, that's just a complete boondoggle outside of heavily populated areas IMO.
I get what you're saying and I agree with a lot of it. It's the same old story of "All the high dollar safety engineering in the world not being equal to the determined efforts of one fool." But, we still recommend safety glasses and not running with scissors, don't we? :lol:
