As you can imagine, vehicle inspections have both advantages and disadvantages. The potential benefits of vehicle inspections include economic benefits, helping local businesses including repair facilities and the state budget. Another potential benefit is safety, given that vehicles that regularly undergo inspection are less likely to malfunction and cause serious roadway accidents. Some of the detriments of vehicle inspections include the fact that many vehicles do not need them. Consequently, car owners become subject to unnecessary fees and expenses. These inspections may also prove detrimental for low-income families who often possess older vehicles. These families may be unable to afford a newer vehicle, and their older vehicle may not pass an inspection.
