    Question. Are there countries in Europe that don’t have mandatory inspections?

    There are states in the US that have very tight regulations and inspections, and states that hear “regulations are written in blood” and think it’s the regulation that kills people (Mississippi. It’s always Mississippi. Or Florida)

    Not sure where I was going with this, but the state I live in sucks balls. I wish I could live in Norway. So pretty. It calls to my soul. Fjords are amazing. I want to wear knit undershirts and never hug anyone

      Not as far as I am aware. There is a EU rule followed by every member state more or less, which sais first check after 4 years the car was first sold. Then every two years.

        Idk how it is elsewhere, but here in Estonia after 10 years or so, it becomes annual.

        Ah, so when you said Europe you were thinking of the EU. I can’t fault you there, I’ll sometimes say “America” and mean the US. Thanks for clarifying 😊

      This may be outdated info but I believe Arizona had the most lax vehicle laws. That’s why every uhaul truck is registered in Arizona

        Oh interesting! I wonder if that’s a result of the prevalence of two-cycle engines in motorcycles a long time ago. Or maybe the ratio of motorcycles to larger vehicles is so low it doesn’t make enough of an impact to regulate them. Or if there’s a bit of regulatory capture from the motorcycle industry.

        I’m pretty curious about this now. At least for the next ten minutes or so

          I have heard the motards (the french bikers) teamed up and pressured the government, but don’t take my word for it :-)
