Spotted at the Huntington Hills Superstore tonight, rusty early 90's Camaro being driven by a middle aged Caucasian lady - mandatory vehicle inspections should catch this, looking just in front of driver's side rear tire..

Maybe mandatory vehicle inspections should be a thing

Even every five years would do wonders for some of these junkers. Although, I wonder how many accidents are really caused by these? I'd guess this kind of person doesn't drive a lot of kms per year.

As someone who has to deal with yearly inspections, fuck no. Cash grab to the nines, I get what you're saying but you'd grow to hate them real quick, especially for how many windshields are fucked in Alberta

IMO the people merging onto Deerfoot at 60kph pose more of a danger than the 1 in 10,000 cars that are like this.
But I wouldn't be at all surprised to see this cash grab in the future of "no new taxes"

I am by no means saying annual inspections but something like this is not all that safe and is probably inductive of possible worse problems on this particular vehicle.

I would be in favour of an evidence based policy. I wonder if the police keep statistics of how many injury colisions are the result of faulty equipment or lack of maintenance? My gut feel is that it would be vanishingly small, but I'd be open to the discussion if there was relevant statistical evidence to support it.

So people in here seem to be okay with the obvious issue on this car. Interesting indeed.

I'm not okay with it, but there's bigger dangers on the road, and annual inspections have been proven to be a sham and cash grab.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

What was said was that the incredible burden of mandatory inspections isn't worth it for how limited a problem this actually is particularly when compared to actual prevalent safety issues that could be more readily addressed.

Fuck no to mandatory inspections.
Everyone knows that beige camry’s are what cause accidents. And they don’t even have anything broken.

Also not for annual inspections. The amount of vehicles that would actually have this degree of problems and remain actually drivable/maneuverable I would anticipate to be quite low. That said, I'm surprised we don't see more ball join failures with our roads and the salt.

Based on the accidents I see people usually have one or more "O"s and are driving a newer crossover.

Keep in mind that yearly inspections will also mean that modifications will probably be a no go. also why should i pay to have my brand new f150 inspected?
EDIT: Pointed out below they can do this. neato.

Thanks for the 14 years of LOLs. Govern yourselves accordingly and avoid uppercut reactions!

It's got winter tires, it's probably less likely to get in an accident than half of the cars on the road right now.

You say its an obvious "issue". If it hasn't caused a problem, it clearly isn't an issue.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I bet more people get in accidents from.exploding tires due to running on the highway at 5psi then people do from vehicles like this.
Accidents caused by poor maintenance are so miniscule, it would be insane to bring in inspections for that.

The thing is though a lot of people who drive beaters have a "guy" who signs off on their inspection form. Unless they are being directed to a certain shop for re-inspection, than this would fix nothing. But I agree, I wouldn't want this, there would have to be some stipulations put on it ie. year/value etc, even then I'll pass on the idea of it. Can't say I have ever been involved in an accident or seen one that would directly relate to vehicle being a POS is the reason for the accident. For me, its distracted driving that is a much bigger issue. Had so many close calls from people on their phones, or chicks giving themselves a Maybelline makeover while driving.

^ 100% agreed. In a snowstorm last week I came within inches of an accident. Girl was too lazy to clean off her windows, didnt see me and almost side swiped me
