Northern toll roads are like your drive through whore houses in the south.Damned Yankee part.We didn't have toll roads down here.
Don, no toll roads in Missouri!Damned Yankee part.We didn't have toll roads down here.
Nor Iowa.
I lived outside of Chicago in the early ‘70’s and had to drive on the tollways there. Toll plaza areas had like 16 plus booths; some were attended, The others were exact change. You slowed to a speed in which you judged you could throw coins in the big coin hoppers and then you accelerated! It was like the start of a Lemans race with everybody squeezing from 10 lanes into 3 or 4!!!
What's an annual car inspection? Good ole backwards Iowa. No inspections and no shelter in place so far. There are other suggestions though.
As much as I hate getting inspections (and I only have the Jeep), I really don't see how all states don't have it. Most people would just keep driving and driving never maintaining their cars. The stupidity in this world is staggering. Remember, they are all out there and traveling at 55mph or more. 
The states without inspections must have a lot of traffic accidents/deaths.

Bob, you are absolutely right, and the State would love to create a new bureaucracy here to do that. Except for one small detail:
Many of "their" voters would be off the road, pissed off and unable to work, spend money or vote. And the underground auto shop businesses would be threatened as well.

Well Bob, Pennsylvania had 1,190 auto deaths in 2019, Iowa had 336 from what I find. How did the inspections work out???? When we had inspections they were a joke, you just needed to know someone to get your papers.
I think that a inspection for the car lags far behind having an IQ TEST for driving to reduce accidents.
Mechanical problems IMO are not the leading cause of motor vehicle deaths.Besides, I don't need any more government.......................
