While I find MA inspections annoying I am OK with it. Once/year with the sticker lasting 12 months. Cars of a certain age are exempt from emissions and only need to pass the safety check. When I drop my vehicle off, I fill out a piece of paper stating whether I want them to make minor repairs (change a bulb, replace a wiper blade, etc) or not so I am not surprised.
All this talk of crooked repair shops is interesting. Why throw out a system that helps get vehicles with unsafe equipment off the road because of some dishonest people? Why not focus on the dishonest people?
