Owning a beater was soo much easier though! And, as I started driving there I'm thankful, 'cause I had a beater. I remember it was a huge deal when we moved to Ohio because we would have to actually have the state inspect our families cars for the first time since purchase.

Yeah, I find this super weird. Where I live, any vehicle more than 3 years old needs to be inspected annually, and anything older than 10 years needs to be inspected every 6 months - it's a super basic safety check; are your tires legal, do your brakes work, is your suspension system in spec etc. Pretty much just making sure that vehicle is safe to drive - you get a bit of leeway if the certificate has expired, but if it's more than a few weeks past you risk getting fined or having your car impounded

In Oregon they check your carbon emissions every 2 years. That's it. They don't give a shit how fucked up your car is as long as the emissions are low.

Wtf, why would budget cars need to be inspected every 6 months/ how does this even work for places that have no mechanics within 50 miles?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because budget or not they use the same roads. And it's usually not only the person driving being in danger when something breaks.

I understand it when it is specifically for large cities (>500,000 people or so) but when done at a state level it makes no sense. I understand that it is functionality not enforced in smaller communities, but I personally think any law that has poor enforcement for good reason (such as more than half of the vehicles not complying) should be removed or redefined (perhaps only require it on commercial vehicles or make it a secondary crime).

They gotta find some way to punish poor people for existing.
