Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

[Redlands Okie]

If your vehicle is legal to run on the road then no problem with inspection. Seems to me the only ones that would have a issue are those that do not want to run legal vehicles. A few bucks and a hour or less once a year is not much to ask to help eliminate some of the common problems. Sure some will find a work around. Those should be dealt with aggressively and extremely harshly by law enforcement during the rest of the year.

Separate issue that needs to be dealt with is that accidents need to be investigated and the cause found and dealt with. The common case of writing a report for the insurance company and going back on patrol is a problem.

Poor drivers not following standard rules should also be dealt with.

All of the above issues here in Oklahoma are common and seldom dealt with.

So.. again you are saying the inspections once a year don't prevent the accidents you fear most.

The only thing they accomplish is costing drivers $$$$$ .

WOW - You are reading what you want to read and trying to make an argument.

I cant think of anything that is alway 100% perfect, without fail. Even if the inspector lived in your car, he is human and can and will miss things. The point is if it works and stops JUST 10% of unsafe vehicles then it is worth the couple bucks to me. Maybe the 1 life it saves a year is yours....
If the inspection is that big of a deal to you, take an Uber - you won't need to inspect anything again.

But the problem is that some of the things your inspection declares unsafe, will not fail for the life of the vehicle & only cost the owner big $$$$$.
Out of 100k defects for bad ball joints, you MAY get 1 in 10 years that fails on the hiway.

What you are identifying are possibly maybe could be problems that might cause an accident under ideal conditions.

And those things still happen even WITH costly inspections.

The question being discussed - value of motor vehicle safety inspections - is directly on point for a thread which is about people hauling or towing something wrong.

If you want to see more pics instead of words why are you not posting any pictures?



In my opinion this was a very unsafe load. It was insufficiency secured and seemed to be too much weight for the truck. Had those slabs fell out of the back of that truck in the traffic on IH35 there would have been some major problems.

But it didn’t and no yearly motor vehicle safety inspection was going to impact it.

That picture's been posted before and I think it was determined the slabs were properly secured to the A frame between them which may be bolted to the truck bed. Not sure about the overweight issue.

What is the material?

Just because a load is untypically high doesn't make it dangerous.

Shame the Tractor was obscured.

Can someone explain, why someone would put those tires on a truck? Is it for extra road noise or to increase fuel consumption, or just to spend more regularly on tires and front end work?
