No need to check for brakes? Wiper blades? Lights? Sufficient tread on the tires themselves? My first thought that comes to mind was being told to look at the cord showing on the 20" rears on my 2003 X5 4.6is due to their excessive rear camber. How many people going in for a legitimate inspection by a licensed shop were told something of true importance regarding their cars when they themselves would never have noticed or cared if the mechanic had not said something potentially saving a life or two? And, it rains a pretty good bit up your way too, doesn't it?
Safe driving.

Your contention is a bit short sighted. I'm sure there are more folks interested in maintaining their vehicles to some degree of compliance to protect themselves and others. Some folks don't mind being told they need new brakes and will have them replaced. Just because some people ignore the law and circumvent the system doesn't mean everyone will do the same. Law enforcement or whoever whatever should enforce the law not eliminate it because folks don't comply.

But hey. Let's make it the same for everyone: If we can't enforece the existing laws and rules, let's just remove all rules and laws to make it UNsafe out there for all of us. And we allow this to happen. What a stupid mentality. IMHO....
We as humans are nothing more than what we collectively SEE and HEAR. Nothing more. Nothing less.
