    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

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

      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.
