I am looking for information on vehicle safety inspections I'm looking for information about:
- Effectiveness of automobile safety inspections as performed by some states.
- Information on states that have dropped their safety inspections, and why... (Such as Florida did in the 1970s)
- Studies that show the effectiveness of safety inspections conducted by:
a. State run facilities (such as was done in Florida) b. Private facilities (such as done in many states such as Mass.)
- Any other non-anecdotal information about automobile safety inspections,
- Instances (first hand, if possible) of safety stations (typically private) cheating customers, Usually done to older, women, and non-sophisticated customers, where unnecessary repairs are performed.
- Allowing 'unsafe' vehicles to pass (usually for a friend, or for 'under the counter' payment to the inspector.) and any other irregularity in safety inspections.
