If my car has a problem, should I fix it, or just hose it down with spray foam? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6hoR9M73zI

If you own a car in the UK, every year you have to take it to a garage and it has to pass a check-up saying its safe to drive. Is that not a thing is the US?

It's up to the individual state but most of them don't require mandatory inspections. My state got rid of that in the past 5 or so years, for example. edit: Looks like more states require emission inspections than they do safety inspections.

Texas has a bullshit safety inspection that's toothless. New Mexico only requires emissions, and only in the county I live in lol. That one's more of a tax for living in the one place where people live here than anything else. Those are the ones I'm familiar with.

I live in one of the stricter inspection states, which are the minority, and our bar is 'lights turn on and the mechanic cannot fit a fist through any given hole in the frame'. Most don't bother, and the strictest conversely only care about exhaust analysis.

Texas is basically lights, wipers, brakes, and tires. Some counties have emissions testing, but not the one I’m in.

I believe most the  cars are the result of disabilities, addiction, mental health, and crippling poverty combined with a societal hate for non car havers, so a lot of it is sadder than funny to me. But it does provide a lot of examples of things to be on the lookout for when for example buying a used car. Like they're revealing whole new categories of ways poo poo can be busted

Oh yeah in Bernalillo County the emissions certs are 2 year, and you can reup your registration for 1 or 2 years at the emissions place depending on how much money you're willing to spend that day. The Vietnam 2000 Emissions Testing and Restaurant in my neighborhood is one of the best in town.

Australia has no emissions standards and no regular safety inspections. You can drive around in any old piece of poo poo, we're a dumping ground for car models that companies can't sell elsewhere.

We have yearly inspections (6 monthly for cars older than 2000) in New Zealand, and they can be pretty strict. You can be denied a warrant for tread less than a mm, a chip in the windscreen right in front of the driver or more than 3 chips, too much surface rust, broken wing mirror, horn not working you name it. I got denied once for having stickers on my windscreen that stuck out further than 3cm from the edge. On the other hand, I just passed a warrant with a very obvious gouge (not down the the metal braiding) in my tyres sidewall from hitting the gutter. They absolutely saw it. Sounds like a loving pain in the arse but it's a once a year, and $60 - $80 NZD, takes an hour, and I think it's worth it even though it sucks at the time. Plus if you have a mechanic friend they can give you a dodgy warrant lol

TV show idea: a TÜV inspection site is transported to Australia or the USA, random cars are pulled from traffic and inspected. By the second episode at least one German inspector will have spontaneously exploded into a fine mist, while several new incredibly offensive expletives are discovered and subsequently censored for anglophone audiences. e: The third episode will feature a Finnish swearing coach

Jesus every 6 months? That's nuts. Here it's every 2 years for all but the newest cars (until 5 years? I dunno never had one that new) and it's pretty effective at keeping the deathtraps like you'd see in the US off the roads.

NSW at least has pink slips which is the safety inspection before you can renew your rego. Or has that been dumped like other states? But yeah, zilch for emissions, which is why people are getting big American trucks like f150’s (for city driving) etc in a country that has roads waaay too narrow for them. Toyota Landcruiser used to be the ‘big’ car here, it’s getting dwarfed by the US imports.

I had the exact same question my first day driving down the I-5 and I glance at the pickup travelling next to me. The front wing, drivers door, fron bumper, & bonnet were frames with corroded flakes attached. I could see the engine and the driver's croc'd feet on the pedals  . Honestly, it looked like one good kick to the front the pickup would disintergrate. I spent a lot more time paying attention to the state of some vehicles the rest of the holiday and became strangely thankful for the MOT in the UK.

I grew up in Ohio and was very much surprised to learn other states had inspections once I moved away. Apparently like 7 of the 88 counties have their own programs. Always exciting to recontextualize childhood memories, like riding in the rear-facing pop up seats in the back of our station wagon, no seat belts, and apparently with zero emissions standards. And not entirely improbably burning leaded gasoline. Makes me homesick  (edit this was the 90s)

I moved to Peoria from the Chicagoland area and everyone was confused when I asked where to get an inspection and city sticker. Guess Illinois only does it around Chicago and St. Louis. Now I'm confused having to do an annual inspection in Milwaukee, but at least still no city stickers (gotta pay if I need to do street parking).
