Bill would end N.C. safety-inspections for cars
RALEIGH (Winston-Salem Journal) - North Carolina legislators may repeal the state's required annual motor-vehicle safety inspections.
Yesterday, the N.C. Senate Commerce Committee debated a bill that its sponsor, Sen. Charlie Albertson of Duplin County, said would save owners more than $12 a year on each vehicle.
Albertson said that a report by the General Assembly's Program Evaluation Division found no proof that inspections improve road safety and no increase in wrecks after South Carolina and Nebraska repealed their inspection laws.
