Thanks! Of course the next thing I want to write is, "what right does the state have to annually inspect your personal property?" :)

To make money...ah, I mean to ensure the safety of everyone...

HEY, You have given us this power so we can do what we want with it as long as the POWER exists.

This should be an interesting paper on this topic.

We didn't give them that power.

When I get pulled over I ask the cop if I can search his car.

and he said...

Actually it hasn't happened yet, since I made that decision. :) But I expect it to soon as I've let the inspection-by-others lapse. (I know my car works.)

and another post is born!

Oh yes, I am going to be interested in the conclusion(?) of this story.

I've driven it 50 miles so far since I reset the light, and my wife has cautioned me to go over 100 miles before having it inspected.

So, we're driving like rebels for a few more days! :)
