Here they are super gay, but not too hard to pass. But there are gay rules like:
>failing you for non-OEM seats
>failures for missing horn sticker on your steering wheel
>manufacturer no longer makes suspension components so it becomes impossible to pass

In the communist state of Victoria in australia you get a roadworthy and as long as the rego doesnt run out it is always going to be roadworthy unless the Gestapo pull you over and throw the papier bitte at you.

only inspection at title transfer and you can just pay some indian shop 500$ shop to pass it no matter the condition
>t.ontario

It varies by state in america since america is really like 50 countries in a confederation
in california we have to do emissions testing

When you take your driving test they check the lights.
This is the only "inspection" my state has.

Finland? Sounds very much like ours. Despite the long checklist, it's usually quite quick and cheap.

I've seen some absolutely clapped gypsymobiles on the road occasionally, though. Junk with broken headlights, visible body rust + damage, wide cracks in the glass, etc. Usually crammed full of black-haired people.
No idea how those cars pass inspection. Maybe they just don't get them inspected.

Post-2018 car MOTs are no warning lights at all. It is ridiculous. Fortunately garages turn a blind eye as it is all so over the top and not safety related.

But then vintage cars (40yr+) don't need MOTs at all instead of having one to the standard of the day. I suppose 40 year old or more cars just aren't driven much

That, or connections. One of my coworker had a modified 600+ hp Audi Quattro that wasn't even close to being street legal, but he had a friend who worked as an inspector, so...

They actually changed the sticker location from the center of the windshield (invisible, in front of the rear view mirror) to the side (so female / manlet road pirates so see it easier I guess). I put my new one in the center. I’m such a rebel.

I've driven cars that are 70yrs old on original everything and haven't had a single part actually break in a way that made the car unsafe.

The rear struts on my '06 Mazda 5 would occasionally fail when the top mounting bracket would explode into several pieces, the strut would just flop against the side of the car. One time I didn't even notice until after I had gotten home from driving down the highway for an hour.

People claim that place is good for auto enthusiasts??? Sounds like a fucking nightmare.

Here in Canada (actual Canada not new India) you only need an inspection if you want full coverage on a vehicle older than 14 years. If the car is newer than that or you just want liability then there's no inspection needed. You would have to try pretty hard to fail the inspection. It's just a lookover of the lights lights, brakes, tires and suspension components. I've passed them with multiple body mounts missing, rotted brake lines and inches of play in the steering components.

>>28681740 (OP)
We just got rid of all of our inspections. Shit is so goddamn cash. They still make you pay the seven dollars though.

In rural Illinois you don't have undergo even emission tests. In 2017 I bought a rather nice find in the Cicero area of Chicago, and haven't seen a testing facility since. Shit like that should have been abolished nation-wide around 1990, when computer-controlled fuel injection became the norm.

It's understandable since most krauts are retarded

My car doesn't pass emissions so I just bribe the guy. Also I have a catch can for the oil fumes. i still don't understand why that is illegal? Burning oil is more Eco-friendly than just collecting it and safely dumping it, properly?
Yes I understand why it wouldn't pass an inspection. No cat, bigger turbo..... and other modifications that I "forgot" to declare but the catch can?

Not a fan of them, but I guess they're pretty fair in here.
If you have 3 major defects in your car, it's a fail, if you don't pass emissions, it's a fail, if there's a major safety hazard, automatic fail and not allowed to be driven (red sticker) until the issue is fixed and you pass inspection.
I got the red sticker because my brake bleed nipple started leaking right on the lift, inspector was struggling if he'd mark it as a minor notification, but didn't want to risk it, so I got the red label instead.

Aftermarket shit rarely matters, some get it inspected and certified, I've never bothered.
Legally speaking even aftermarket wheels need to be certified and inspected.
Engine swaps are a bit iffy. A V8 swapped miata will get kicked right out unless you've got the proper dyno slips and done the "modification inspection".
A 6 cyl swap in a 4 banger BMW might get you a really long look from the inspector and depending on how well you know the dude, they'll let it pass without complaining.

my state called out kei trucks out by name as "can never be registered", under the reason "not designed for american roads".

then gives out registration to british cars, jdm's, atv's and ww2 geman tanks. its a bit weird. still got it registered, but it was annoying

Fortunately, even the strict guys at the inspection stations mostly look at the first four, and if you have a drift car or a rally car, you can just go to someone who you know will pass you

>>28683534
A bit, but I've got a welder and technically an infinite supply of 3 inch wide steel band I can cut and weld to shape to patch it up.

Actually those 3 holes were the only ones the inspector found on the floorpan, the front and rear left are the wheel arches, but I personally found a couple of more nasty spots that I've now cut open and welded fresh metal in.

Also ain't going to do shit to the high beams, they're fine.

Well that's me done. Most of my cars have had a little poke, and my current daily has the flares off and the track is literally over a foot wider than stock. It could nearly pass for open wheel.

There is no inspection for emissions, or road-worthiness in my state. This leads to lots of actual unsafe garbage on the roads like rusted out trucks crab walking at a 10* angle from the direction of travel, cars with bumpers and parts dragging or falling off. Large numbers of very smokey cars.
I would like to see them return to doing inspections here, but it does not seem likely.
When I registered my last two cars, they did not even verify it. They did not check the car, or the VIN plate.

I live in Japan, drive a 30 year old Japanese car. I take it in every two years myself and pass the test and pay the fee. It's easy as long as you get your oil changed and keep your car clean.

>>28684330
meant for >>28682175

>>28684297
are you sure that's not just because their driver education and testing is a lot more thorough/difficult than other countries? in australia the govt commissioned a study to determine whether regular safety inspections actually made any difference, the verdict was more or less
>crash rates for vehicles where the cause was determined to be mechanical, between states with regular versus no inspections, were too close together to discern any meaningful difference and driver competency was the biggest factor in a crash

>>28684341
i'm not american, but they do cover a lot more distances and just drive a lot more than bongs and yuros. and yeah because a car is pretty much mandatory if you want to get anywhere at all, their education licence framework basically just allows anyone with a pulse to get a licence

>>28684297
uh. ok.
you do realize that doesnt mean there's any relationship whatsoever between the two topics.
like >>28684330 said, way more to do with the driver than the mechanical status of the vehicle.

do they really tho? most crashes occur at low speeds (urban)

>>28684355
>do they really tho?
anon the US is fucking huge of course they drive more. that's not to say you're wrong about most crashes occurring at low speed; most of the time it's women that can't park for shit and hit everything, but then the insurance (if any) is under the husband or boyfriend so it makes it look like men hit cars more. i also already said that their education and licence requirements are shit enough that they just let anyone with a pulse get a licence, not helped by the fact that you really do need a car to get anywhere over there.
honestly the more i think about how easy it is to get a loicense there...good. or at least, it'd be good if cars weren't just uber safety cocoons, because if the driver is stupid enough to overestimate his or her skill level, or just does plain stupid shit, said driver removes him or herself from the gene pool. inb4
>he's gonna crash into you too retard
then so be it, that's the price of freedom and darwinism. unfortunately for me though, with how safe cars are now, these people will drive more recklessly up until they stop feeling safe, and they're more likely than not to get away unscathed and continue being a retard, which is why cars need to feel unsafe again before westart seeing any big drop in crash rates, and even then it'll eventually peter out and people will demand it to go lower again and start trying to reintroduce moar saftey.
