Florida is the third most populous state with 21.3 million people, and it must have plenty traffic congestion.

For population size, it's California #1, Texas #2, Florida #3, and New York #4.

Seems incredibly unsafe to not have required annual car inspections. There's no shortage of people who need and want a car but have a tough time paying for all the car items, so they just keep driving with bad tires, bad brakes, bad windshield wiper blades, cracked windshields, burnt out light bulbs, and maybe no insurance coverage.

Up till about 1980, it was pretty standard for many states to have an inspection required every six months. In Massachusetts the six month inspection used to cost $2 and then it doubled to $4, which was very unpopular, and then it got switched from every six months to every 12 months.

Commercial trucks, trailers, and buses have to get inspected every year in all fifty states. Is maybe true that here in New Hampshire commercial trucks and buses get inspected every six months, and trailers, every year?
