I really dislike yearly inspections

Unfortunately my winter beater has been throwing a Service Engine light in the cold months (my registration expires in March) because of a faulty fuel level sensor--a 2003 Merc Mountaineer with 135k on the clock isn't worth the cost of replacing the pump to me, so might need to be replacing it this winter...

Every time I read about somebody's nightmare annual test, I thank my lucky stars.

The most stringent ones are driven by the large municipalities themselves, which are more regulation-loving, liberal, and like to keep lots of people employed for no apparent added value. So, Austin, Houston, Dallas have emissions tests, and most of the other areas are safety checks only.
I lived in Edmonton for a while and I could definitely see some of those wacky alderman getting some mandatory emissions testing through city council. Just like when I was in Chicago when they were the first city to outlaw Foie Gras (activist city council, again). In restaurants, I mean. Not cars.
