Doug, I was here when Colorado canned their "safety inspectiom" and
saw a rash of the same type of crap. That lasted 5-6 years and then
the crappers started to disappear from the roads. Now, it's more
common to see a cop writing a ticket for a bald tire than for wild
lane changes. Lights and tires will get you stopped here as fast as
speeding and bad tires mean a tow job. Now we have "emissions testing"
in Colorado, at least along the Front Range - I'll take the saftey
inspection any day since it's sooo much cheaper to get thru. Of
course, in the bad old days they did two things that I did like. They
tested the headlight ouput and alignment and we had to pull at least 2
brake drums to physically inspect the brakes (that will tell you how
long ago that was).

Where's the Front Range in Colorado? Given that, where's the Back Range?
