Just consider yourself lucky. Initially, many years ago, the idea was to prevent accidents, they called it an annual "safety" inspection, and it was cheap; $2 to $4. But every study that was ever done concluded that it didn't help a bit in the safety area. But now, in the "metropolitan" areas of the state, we have the so called "safety" inspection, and at the same time, an emissions test, so now it's to prevent pollution. And it now costs $39.50. In reality, we only have it to raise money.
