NH State Inspection For Vehicles

I have spent winters in Florida for the past 17 years I don't see any evidence that the lack of state inspections contributes to a higher accident rate. If a study exists that shows that it would certainly be touted by the people and lobbyists who want to keep the inspection law in place.
After driving over 2 million miles in the eastern 37 states my opinion is that Florida has the worst drivers in the country, and that is the cause of most accidents. I think it is the natives. Generations of poor drivers teaching the next generation how to be a poor driver. No turn signals, improper lane use, and tail gaiting are rampant. Most people don't even understand that they are doing anything wrong. Enforcement of laws is minimal and I was told by a Sheriff that over 85% of accidents are rear end collisions.

I agree, the cars I see in Fl are no worse nor better than NH.

Sometimes it's what you DON'T see...had a customer come in for a recall, and he had vice grips zip tied to a stabilizer link clamping off his brake flex hose so his caliper wouldn't continue to leak.
