    While the police can do it here, we also have dedicated Transport Inspectors in the Department of Transport that specifically look out for that sort of thing. You don’t have something similar?

      Our process is annual inspections but it’s per state. Each state is different and many don’t even. There are clear accident stat differences showing which states don’t.

      In the states I’ve lived in, it is a service offered by a garage. They get licensed to give out inspection stickers. For each inspection they hook it up to a machine that logs emissions and go through a checklist of safety items to verify. In my experience they’re good at catching worn tires and brakes but never seem to check things like headlight alignment or window tinting. And my state is one of the stricter ones
