In a sense, this happens already when two insurance companies/attorneys negotiate settlements. The "state" has its own difficulties. Watch "My Cousin Vinnie" again. Lots of fun.

Periodic inspections are a good idea IMHO, but the interval is in question. Perhaps every time a car is offered for sale which would be new sale, maybe 5-6 years after that, and then, I suspect, more often as used cars get sold or traded more frequently.
