    It is. Only 15 states have a periodic inspection.

    Kentucky is laughable. It’s literally only “inspected” if you bought the car from out of state, and the inspection was $15, and a sheriff comes out tells you to step on the brakes and turn your headlights and emergency lights on. You need 1 working headlight, any one working tail light, (yes you’ll pass with just that tiny one in the center of your rear window,) and any two indicator lights to pass. The guy that did mine kicked my tires and said, “yep, it’s a car.”

      For $15? I’d expect a little dance or something as well, that doesn’t seem like a good value for your money.

      Yeah but who is a poorly maintained car gonna kill besides its occupants in a state like KY. Hell even emissions in a state that sparse. Juice ain’t worth the squeeze.
