This systematic review was conducted to determine the effect of periodic motor vehicle inspections on road crashes and injuries, compared to less exposure to periodic inspections or no inspections. The Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were used to search the literature. Ecological studies were specifically excluded. A reverse search of the results with these databases and of other identified narrative reviews was also performed. Of the 5065 unique references initially extracted, only six of them met the inclusion criteria and were selected for review: one experimental study, two cohort studies with an internal comparison group, two cohort studies without a comparison group, and one case–control study. Two authors independently extracted the information and assessed the quality of each study. Due to the heterogeneity of the designs and the intervention or comparison groups used, quantitative synthesis of the results was not attempted. Except for the case–control study, which showed a significant association between road crashes and the absence of a valid vehicle inspection certificate, the other studies showed either a small reduction in crash rates (around 9%), no association, or a higher crash rate in vehicles with more inspections.

Commenting twice is cringe.

Do you have access to an academic database? You type in his name. You can't link something in a database unless you have access to that database.

I don't care it you want to be ignorant, but you are wrong. Get the fuck over it.

I literally told you to read the work of an academic who did a causal study. That is, he took the results of tons of studies in the subject and reviewed them to get to his conclusions. This includes studies that found no link. The overall trend is that safety inspections reduce traffic fatalities. This is an empirical fact. It can not be argued against. Get the fuck over it.

I am assuming you didn't actually read the study you linked, thought about the methodology. You just read the abstract and posted it. That's fucking stupid. Thsts an insult to people like me who actually take the time to learn about the subject and have dedicated our lives to the field.

Read the work of Luis Reyes

I already told what to read my guy.

I don't a give a fuck about what you are talking about. I research transportation safety. Inspections save lives. Get the fuck over it.

You don't have a right to drive. Pass the inspection or get the fuck off the road.

Empirical evidence shows it reduces fatalities and crash counts. Your feelings on the subject are irrelevant and frankly wrong.

Pog

You changed your comment. Anyway, read the work of Luis Reyes on the subject. He does a lot of causal studies related to traffic safety.

>So you feel safe doing 85 with all the angry SUV drivers, but a Honda Civic with a bad airbag freaks you the fuck out. OK

No. Dont put words in peoples mouth. Speeding is dangerous, deadly, and stupid. But, the data shows that safety inspections lower crash rates and fatalities. So regardless of how stupid people drive, it helps.

Empirical....evidence.

No

It blows my mind that there are people on this sub that have argued that safety inspections, something empirically proved to make driving safer, don't need to exist.

Yeah place fucking sucks

How did she end up here?

Self-service is operational 24/7 and can answer questions about coverage. They can also just read the benefits packet.

Seld service is 24/7. They have info about what's covered in self-service. You could also read the benefits package.

You can call and ask why are you asking reddit?

Just because something doesn't fix everything doesn't mean we shouldn't improve it. Lots of small changes lead to big changes. We can get off of heating oil for heat. We can not stop using shipping containers. We can switch to more reliable energy sources. We can not switch everything to renewable energy all at once.

>I guess you have never looked into how any of this stuff is made, shipped, or disposed of. What makes the majority of electricity in this state? What is the energy loss in transmission?

Hey guess what. That's planned to be changed too! Its like things don't happen overnight or something. CRAZY!!!

>So you have no idea about anything and basing you worldview on emotions.

Ironic.

Heating oil...not renewable. Runs out. Very bad. C02 emmisoons...bad.

Electricty can be as close to renewable as possible....less c02 emmisions. Good. More efficient at heating houses. Good.

Sad you think that would be an issue.

A change like this doesn't happen overnight. Having everyone change off of heating oil in the next 10 years let alone 30 years wouldn't crash the grid.

The change needs to happen eventually. Get the fuck over ot.

......what

This is an extremely shortsighted and narrow view.

Urban areas subsidize rural areas because rural areas are still important.

>After you find a lender and apply with them, do they do the next steps re: sending the grant info to MassHousing?

Yes, you never actually need to interact with mass hosuing yourself. It's important to remember that most of their assistance is low interest loans. My downpayment assistance loan was 5% of my purchase price at 2% interest, BUT it's on a 15-year term.

>Did you also have to do the education course

Yes, someone on the loan needs to have completed a course. They list accepted courses on their website.
