I used to do state inspections and would do a lot of them. The lady that was over the DPS inspection division said that I was doing too many of them. She said that it should take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to do one. I told her that if I had to spend that long to do an inspection, that they could come and get there stuff. We quit doing them. Besides, if you own the car or truck, it should be your responsibility to make sure it's safe! Most state inspectors passed them anyway even if they wouldn't pass! Exactly. Waste of time and money.

While were griping....would it bankrupt the State of Texas to repaint some lines on our roadways, say once every twenty years of so?

So why do we still get charged for it on your tags? I would like to know this as well And they also added an additional fee to it. The inspection fee was $7, the replacement is $7.50.

My favorite is the people driving around with the high beams on because the low beams are burned out. I had a rental car like that 1 time. My aunt and I were driving to a bar in Chicago and got pulled over for having brights on. Told the cop it was a rental and demonstrated what happened when I dimmed them.

South Carolina use to have it, but can't remember the last time, probably 30 years
it's convenient for people who keep their cars in good running condition to not have it inspected. For sure is putting more bad cars and trucks on the road

It was certainly noticeable today in far north Dallas. It was foggy this morning 0800-1000.
I was disappointed to see so many vehicles with only one headlight working and/or an indicator out….and these were relatively “nice” vehicles.

Yeah, they did that on I-20 at the I-20/US 287/I-820 split in Kennedale right before they started the construction! The bridge on Campus over I-20 is 3 lanes, but none have lines painted...it's fun!

There were several known places in Johnson and Tarrant Counties that would pass any and all vehicles. Just had to slip 'em some money. It's been going on for over 30 years. My mom's ex used to send his cars up the road from his house to an old gas station in Alvarado...miraculously the dang things would ALWAYS pass. No windshield wipers, no problem. Horn doesn't work, no problem. Brakes not stopping the car? Here's your sticker...where's my $20?

I saw a truck yesterday with a temporary tag that expired in 2021 You must not live around the wonderful city of Houston. It is a very common occurrence to see paper tags that expired several years ago and it is know all Nissan Altima's have only paper tags.
