They also don't inspect cars here. That was Bob Graham's claim to fame
that got him in the governor's mansion, stopping the inspection program.
I'm a little conflicted by this. Inspections are a PITA, but it is nice
to know that all those cars out there had their brakes working at least
once a year. ;-)

That was one of the big jokes here in CT with the old inspection
system. Never tested the brakes as such either dynamically or static
but they'd check it off the report for every inspection.

They finally got rid of that nonsense. I guess they figured if you
could make it to an inspection station, you passed. :)


Illinois had a motor vehicle inspection many years ago. All it took was
a couple of $ on the seat and you passed.
