As someone in the auto business, I’m on the fence about them. Failing a vehicle for a check engine/emission light is just stupid. THAT is a joke and should be removed to get a sticker. Im saying that knowing it will take away business from me.

On the other hand, I think people here don’t understand how unsafe a lot of cars on the road are. Too many people are careless or just plain lazy taking care of 70 MPH 1/2 ton death machines they live out of a majority of their life.

BALD tires, no wiper blades, no head or tail lights, no brakes. Too many examples I could give of cars that DO NOT need to be on the road. That would be my focus for stickers but the punishment would be harsher if your shite is unsafe for the roads.

Those cars will still be on the road with or without inspection stickers

I have never had anyone look at the tires, horn, much less ask about windshield wipers. If all the lights and blinkers worked you were good to go. I’d be more worried about the amount of people driving around without a drivers license or proper insurance.

Anecdotally, drove to Birmingham recently and we were astonished at how many broken down cars there were along the Alabama route, as noted from Waze announcing it every 60 seconds, and sure enough I just looked and Bama doesn’t require annual auto inspections.

Cops need to do their job and cite people for those violations, not force the majority to go pay 20 bucks for an inspection sticker that is in reality just another tax.

South Carolina used to require inspection stickers, we did away with them probably 30-35 years ago, maybe a bit more.

I see no difference on the roads, other than traffic increased.
