I don't think the inspection program we have here in nova scotia is such a bad thing. It used to be once a year but they changed it to once every 2 years this past april. It only costs 30 bucks here and it's administered by any private shop that is licensed as an 'inspection station'. It does generate some work for the garages. Especially the crooked ones... but most take it fairly seriously. They used to require checks on lights, wipers, heater etc along with the running gear but in april the focus changed a bit to eliminate that stuff. Now ti's basically just brakes, tires, front ends, exhaust... basic running gear. No holes in the body. Safety items. As hard as some of you find it to beleive... without an inspection system there would be a lot of people around here who would simply drive the damn thing until it stoped or the wheels fell off. I'm tempted to say that's a female thing... but there's lots of men today that are equally bad. Lots just don't know any better. Then there are those of us who do know better and do so anyway... Inspection forces me to fix things that I'd otherwise ignore quite a long time otherwise. Spot checks for stickers will get you eventually if you run without a sticker. The creeper police are also out doing spot inspections... so they check up on shops 'giving' out stickers without having done an inspection... or a proper inspection.
Yeah... the whole thing is a pain in the arse, but I do beleive it does help to keep many vehicles in a more servicable condition. Mabey not prevent a lot of accidents... but clean up on some of the junk.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
