[@co-jt6gd]

And there are people who shouldn’t be out on the road at all! Come to think of it, none of us should: we definitely could use much more public transit in the USA and walkable cities so people who can’t drive (and just people in general) wouldn’t have to rely on cars to get everywhere all the damn time. Have you seen today’s electric transit? It’s fast, it’s eco-friendly, it doesn’t need to be maintained and it’s absolutely AMAZING-LOOKING!

[@davidnaish6804]

Sweep. I think you mean that their sanity should be "recalled!" 😉

[@Sashazur]

Most of the cars on this channel are beaters or junk. The #1 reason people decline repairs or drive a car that should be scrapped, is lack of money - not necessarily lack of brains.

[@justaperson4065]

​@Sashazur exactly, I have been guilty of driving garbage for that same reason. Not this dangerous mind you, but borderline. I have sent 2 to the scrapyard before I could afford a better used car. However, getting the last 1-2 years out of a beater while saving up for a nice car is a cheaper way than paying all that intrest on a loan.

[@snickpickle]

Probably my all-time favorite story from the Reader’s Digest came from the late 70s-early 80s, when the author was hitchhiking in Arizona (I think it was), and a guy pulls up in a barely-functional pickup. The author said he considered not taking the ride with him, but went ahead and did so. It was after dusk, and without headlights or taillights, he was obviously pulled over by a state trooper. “No headlights, no taillights, no driver’s side door, no…” The trooper stopped writing after a whole string of violations, ripped up the ticket, and wrote out a new ticket: “Impersonating a motor vehicle.” 🤣🤪

Mechanic: "Your car is a literal deathtrap, come see for yourself." Customer: "You're just trying to trick me into paying for repairs I don't need!" Very shady e-mail: "You've won a billion dollars! Just enter your credit card information and it's all yours." Customer: "GOLLY GEE I'M A BILLIONAIRE"

[@HMJ66]

Yeah but the mechanic is trying to *cost* them money - that Nigerian prince is offering to *give* them money! Totally different.

[@djinnxx7050]

Mechanics can be a bit cheeky with little add-ons that, if you happen to know enough about cars and know your own, you know you probably don't really need. Well, you don't need them to do it with the additional cost of their time when you can just order that particular part and fit it yourself at home for half the cost. If you have the tools needed to take off a wheel, and you should, they should be in the boot of your car, then you shouldn't have issues changing brake pads, discs, maybe control arms etc. And you can do some basic maintenance with the engine up front (that's where the engine usually is, it's the large noisy thing under the bonnet), such as changing oil, spark plugs etc. That's where the average garage is getting you paying more than what you should be, because people are somehow allowed to drive a near 2 tonne potential death trap that they know very little about, which is just bloody stupid if you ask me, which you didn't but whatever. Had my way, I'd make it so you'd have to display some decent enough mechanical knowledge and ability to care for your vehicle before you ever get to sit in the drivers seat and get a licence. That gives the driver some useful knowledge and skills, prevents then being taken advantage of, and helps protects other road users from those who are genuinely too stupid to be allowed to drive. Won't stop people being lazy and failing to perform a few basic checks before they start driving (I know, people think it's tedious. But it's important, make sure your fluids are in order at the least ), but a few gory videos and/or photos could help with an attitude adjustment. No one wants to end up looking like Porsche girl, it's not open casket friendly.

Problems that could be remediated/fixed are allowed to fester and turn into even more extensive issues. On the other hand, consumers have spoken, and what they want is more features, better safety, and better fuel economy all in a cheaper package. Just like pretty much everything in modern consumer culture these days.

Sadly there are a number of states in the US that don't require yearly inspections and I can tell you that most of these are from those states. Washington state is one of those... Had an ex room mate who had a car that was totaled 3 times and each time he just got it back out of the junk yard after it was towed to a skeezy mechanic he knew and had mostly the visual damage repaired and only enough to get it going again. Didn't know that till it was refusing to start one day in a parking lot and I popped the hood to see if I could problem solve a bit.... We got it running again but I refused to get in that car ever again. It was a litteral death trap because the frame had been "repaired" multiple times in the most half assed way possible and was rusted almost completely through on the scrap metal used to fix gaps.
