    Idk, I’m in the u.s. without any inspections whatsoever. There’s an app that works with newer ios devices that can check very accurately because of the finer tuned gyroscope. Hopefully an android variant comes soon. Then trucks, buses etc. can check every trip without a lot of hastle.

      Wait what the fuck, you don’t have yearly technical inspections there? So people can drive whatever deathtraps without functional brakes or shit?

      I’d call USA a developing country but that’d imply positive change over time

        Yeah, it’s kinda bullshit when you see perfectly smooth tires on a grain truck, which also doesn’t require a special license if driven by a farmer or their family. I think you could be 16 or 18 and hop into a truck to haul 20 tons of grain with a car license.
