The racket of insurance companies required to replace cracked windshields, with no deductible...or raising your premiums.
Since the windshield repair companies know this, it costs on average about 2-3 times as much here (with the insurer paying)...as states that don't have this racket. I believe at last count, there were only three states that have this law (Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina). Not to mention, that it isn't the insurance companies...that eventually pay for this scheme. Windshield Replacement Scheme (click here) Quote:

Speaking of inspection stations. All of the inspection stations were built by and owned by the state. There simply weren't enough of them, especially in South Florida, to keep up with a fast growing population. You could wait in a line of cars for 6-8 hours before your car was actually inspected. Cars would run out of gas, overheat etc while waiting in line. Then, if you got into the station and they found something wrong, they couldn't fix it. Not even a light bulb. You had to take your car to a garage and get the repair done because you had to bring a paid receipt from a garage back when you went for a reinspection to prove the work was done. Speaking of a reinspection, you once again had to wait in a line of cars for 6-8 hours to get back into the inspection station. I think they gave you 10 days to get the repair done and the car reinspected. As you can see, it was a mess. Due to so many complaints and the state not being able to build and staff enough inspection stations to make it work, they just did away with inspections altogether.

One of my most enjoyable Florida experiences occurred in the early 1970's. I drove through Haines City and the surrounding area late at night. I had all the windows in my car down and experienced for miles the incredible fragrance of the orange blossoms in the orchards through which the road passed. It was almost intoxicatingly delightful!
I really like the pleasant central Florida accent and manner of speech.

I am all for safety inspections, but what I love about Florida is there is no need for emissions inspection. In Massachusetts they will fail your car, which is completely safe and runs like clockwork, because of some stupid emissions test that requires you to spend over a thousand dollars on a catalytic converter, which will fail again in a few years.

The 'check engine' light came on in our 13 year old car in 2016 and I never got it fixed. The car kept running great and is still doing fine three years later. |
