Dixville, and Pinkham?

I suppose if they're super desperate.

The fine (and threat of impoundment) gives them incentive to fix the problem.

Check out some of the other subreddits of car repairs in states without regular inspections like Florida. Cars with rotors so worn they're missing, ball joints that have disintegrated, CEL on because of emissions issues. Scary stuff.

Deaths are only the most severe metric. What about non-fatal crash data? That would be more interesting and relevant

Both!

Jesus Fucking Christ guys

Berlin here. Southern New Hampshire is northern Massachusetts now. South of the notches is home of the flatlander.

The increased values of cars over the past few years doesn’t help the registration costs.

Windham, Hudson and Nashua too

Lol no it doesn't. Absence of a sticker isn't going to stop people from driving the car. It just means they pay a fine for it.

It's not really bullshit any more than a tax is, but it's NH so it can't be a tax.

My car cost nearly $1k to register this year. But I didn't pay sales tax!

And it'll be cheaper next year.

/Shrug

But New Hampshire in general is all still “North Of The Wall”.

Where peoples last names are still mostly Irish and not French.

That's what these posts make it sound like.

That's where the people are. Greater Manchester Nashua Salem triangle.

Contrary to what some wrote, the seacoast is the seacoast, not part of Southern NH.

Nor is Concord. That's Central NH.

Life's different in and around the triangle. As it is around the seacoast. As it is Keene way. As it is some Concord. Etc.

That's the way I think of the regions, about lifestyle.

You can add plaistow to that

Didn't realize there were all kinds of bullshit town fees on top of the state fees...

I'm on the same road as these cars. I'm happy that they get inspected.

Bottom half

This! Please show and file testimony for this bill. I'm a cosponsor.

$76/year is a lot cheaper than in NH...

So what makes up central NH?? Anything south of Colbrook and north of Tilton?? (eye roll) /s

Fair enough. Figured the state saw at least some of the money, be it through the fees themselves or the certification process. If the state sees nothing from it, then I agree it’s definitely pointless, especially seeing the kinds of vehicles that make it through anyways.

Woah hey slurs are very uncool, especially the r slur

The inspection fees don't go to the state they go to the shop who will make it up by not having to carry so much inspection infrastructure.

A lot of what the state house puts into law exists to funnel money or minimize competition for siblings, cousins and friends business. Annual auto inspections is that. The fact that NH requires more professional licenses than MA minimizes competition. Etc.

Each Republican majority tries to abide by their Republican principles by eliminating some of this stuff. Alas, their principles take a back seat to doling out favors.
