    Presumably your car has an annual safety inspection. The inspection could include writing down your milage, right? I’m pretty sure there are already laws against tampering with your odometer…

      Yeah, unfortunately most states don’t have a yearly inspection. There’s registration, but outside of the New England area and select western states, there’s no real inspection requirements.

      It was really surreal going to Florida for the first time and seeing people driving around with bumpers hanging off their vehicle and seeing my aunt driving around with tires so bald that I was surprised it could grip the road

      No, there are no annual safety inspections. Some states do emissions tests but mine does not and EVs would obviously be excluded from those anyway.

        I’m so sorry. It must be terrifying knowing how many of your fellow drivers are zipping around with worn brake pads or broken turn signals. 😬

          Only 14/50 US states do safety inspections. Wheels fly off and hit someone every fucking day. Because freedom.
