Isn't it checked? In my country it is part of the standard check during the mandatory technical certification of the vehicle every few years.

Checked? Here in Michigan we have 0 car inspections. No smog, no safety check. Its great. We have 3 things that almost everyone in the state can firmly get behind:

1) No tolls roads

2) No mandatory vehicle checks

3) No traffic cameras

My state gets a lot of things wrong, but they get those 3 things right.

The only thing i ever have to do in California is a smog check. I drive regular cars and I take care of them, but I never had to test for anything other than smog check here to renew the registration.

Inspections don't really improve road safety much and they screw the poors right into the arms of predatory lenders so many US states don't have them.
