Why Florida does not have a car inspection like the other states , we should have one for safety?

You have offered an opinion, but I don't see a question there, unless it's an implied "Why doesn't Florida have mandated vehicle inspection like all the other states do?"

First, any vehicle going down the road with a cracked windshield, or obviously in a state of disrepair is subject to being stopped and inspected by the highway patrol, or state troopers depending on the state, and being taken out of service until repaired.

Secondly, all other states don't. There are only 17 out of the states that require inspection, and two of them only require it on transfer of ownership.

17 states have a periodic (annual or biennial) safety inspection program, while Maryland and Alabama require a safety inspection prior to registration or transfer of ownership only. Nebraska requires safety inspection only upon newly-arrived vehicles which were previously registered in another state. New Jersey discontinued its passenger vehicle safety inspection program on August 1, 2010

The problem with state inspections is they are not performed by the state. They are performed by "certified" inspection stations. It's the fox guarding the chickens. It is not uncommon for an inspection station to do some minor repair "that is mandated by the state" before they will give you an inspection sticker. This is intended to generate more income for the shop. When I lived in GA, they ALWAYS found something to fix - usually headlight aiming/adjustment, wiper blades, tires, brakes, front end parts, shocks. Sometimes repairs where "mandated" without actually being an inspection item. They counted on car owners being ignorant of car maintenance and repair requirements. It was easy to pull the wool over the car owner's eyes.

Some of these "certified" inspectors don't really know what needs to be checked and how to check them. http://www.amazon.com/tag/automotive/forum?cdThrea...

Undercover checks were too infrequent and punishment not too severe to be of any useful deterrent of fraudulent activities. NYS cited 40 inspection stations for falsifying 20,000+ vehicle inspections (safety and emissions). Fines $375 - $1500 1st offense. $22,500 for additional offenses. But if the car owner pays the inspector to pass the vehicle, the inspector pockets the money and the inspection station loses their license to inspect vehicles. Big deal.

Besides, getting the car inspected in any one month does not guarantee that the car will stay together until the next inspection is due 12 months later. The inspection program is just a method that allows the state and inspection station to get more tax money from the public without guaranteeing safety.

The absolutely free reverse vin check sites generally provide fake information. To get real information, money will have to be paid. The free searches provide fake information so they can get your email address to send spam.

Stay away from shady reverse vin check sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Not to mention you won't get a report and you won't get an answer if you try to call for a refund. Stick with a reputable reverse vin check site like http://www.reversevincheck.net/ that has been around since 1995.
