It's much worse than you think. Some states don't require regular safety inspections. I've seen some scary stuff on the road in those states.

- dsfyu404ed 8y agoIf those states were measurably less safe wouldn't that be reflected in insurance premiums? Mechanical failure is inconsequential compared to boring old human factors (distractions, alcohol, bad decisions) when it comes to dangers on the road.
- btilly 8y agoThe problem is that there are confounding factors. States with regular inspections tend to have more expensive cars, higher wealth, higher traffic density and so on. Those factors are going to drive insurance rates up as well.
