Not even close. 1/4 of the states require annual vehicle inspections. A little under 1/3 require annual or biannual. Most states require no annual inspections.

And as another poster has pointed out, the annual inspections benefit the inspection stations more than they improve safety.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
