    Thank you, thank you! 100% here in California we have incredibly strict emissions testing, but absolutely ZERO maintenance checks. Which is more of what I worry about since there’s loads of vehicles on the road that have balding tires, abysmal brakes and cracks all over the glass. We’re somehow one of the few states without this kind of testing even though our vehicles need a bi-annual emissions test.

    Also, definitely wish people had to remove their tow hitch here in the states. Loads of people’s drive with them in and nothing on it. They’re shin busters on sidewalks.

      Yes, I was always surprised by what I saw in /r/rolledintotheshoptoday. Many of those cars would be instantly condemned, and not let back on the road except on a trailer to the scrap yard. But still people considered it to be normal to drive those things.
