We had one lose the landing gear spotted at a retread manufacturer, talk about a big rear end mess. Baled cardboard wouldn't be the worst but paper rolls have to be up there in weight with those rubber pallets. We ended up paying for two of those big recovery wreckers and about three hours of sketchy, sketchy work.

Truck status: fuckled. Florida has no safety inspections.

I live in a state that has safety inspections and I couldn't imagine that some states wouldn't have them. many years ago I saw an episode of pimp my ride where some guy had a car that was made of the front of one car welded to the back of a different kind of car. I thought "pffft this show must be fake. there's no way that he'd be able to get that inspected!" But then I learned that places like California and Florida exist. Even later I learned that states like Arkansas and South Carolina don't even require emissions.

Emissions testing is a tax on the poor, as are "safety" inspections. If governments cared about automobile safety they would make getting a driver's license much harder; that is from a skills and knowledge standpoint, not merely monetarily like what a lot of so-called "progressive" governments do. I'm glad that some U.S. states have decided to end their emissions and inspection programs.

The only check of any kind in Kansas is that you have to run your VIN and have an officer physically look at the vehicle if you bought it used from out of state.

Illinois only has emissions around Chicago, the Quad Cities, and St. Louis. No emissions or inspections anywhere else.

Just moved to Wisconsin and had to do an emissions test for the first time in 24 years of driving. I guess that is also in counties surrounding the larger cities. No inspection, however.

Inspections don't statistically reduce accidents caused by carbominations.

States with inspections, like my distant home of Virginia, usually have antique exceptions for 25 year old cars which is just loving hilarious to me.

Unsure if this is the right place to ask but I'm looking to get into health and safety inspection / practice and have taken a couple of certificates in the UK. Having completed an IOSH Working and IOSH Managing course, I'm heading next for a NEBOSH general certificate. Since I'm in the UK but looking to work in the USA in the future with my husband, I take it that it'd be more practical to do the NEBOSH international general certificate?

A great irony to me is that Texas has vehicle inspections, statewide. Of all places. Texas. "Muh freedoms" land of the Alamo makes people get their poo poo fixed before it can be road legal.

Colorado had me go get my VIN run by a dealership when I moved here, nothing else.

My 1994 Geo Prism almost made it to my state's antique auto exception. Was I going to get an ironic antique auto plate for it? You bet your rear end I was. But the cruel Maine winter finally finished its grim work and the frame rusted out from under the car. Every mechanic I ever brought it to said that the engine would be turning over the day I had to scrap it when the frame gave out. They were all correct. That Toyota engine only put up 94 HP but it was a loving juggernaut. I loved that car.

My beloved car died less than a year from that antique auto plate. :negative:

Don't worry, there's a Real Republican™ running for governor against the RINO Greg Abbot and he wants to completely get rid of car inspections, because who doesn't want to see rusted in half trucks rolling down the road?

The elevator didn't move at all, as pointed out. They moved the space around it. That's how you get to floor 13, morons.
In fact, that man is lucky there wasn't a fly in the elevator with him or he would have turned into Tuvix

just think how many days, months, years that poo poo has been operating with no brakes. People going in and out, standing in the doorway with one foot in the lift. All the while the only thing that kept them from death & dismemberment was a single fraying, ageing cable that probably hadn't been replaced since the place was built.
