Seriously!! If New York does it so much better than by all means STAY THERE!! I have nothing against Northerners or other people coming from 'Blue' states, but PLEASE leave your big government inclinations there.

Georgia had inspections and they were nothing more than another form of highway robbery. If an inspection station failed you for ANYTHING, you either had to have it fixed there or bring back a receipt showing you had it fixed somewhere else within 30 days. Nothing but a shake down, LOTS of unneeded repairs foisted on people without the knowledge or spine to dispute the failure. The second time I had to pay to have my headlights 'aligned' I learned to find one of the few places that would only test, but not do the actual repairs themselves. At least then they didn't have a financial incentive to report bogus findings.
