Just when are all states going to bring in compulsory 6 or at the most 12 monthly vehicle inspections.
The large number of rust buckets and cars in poor condition in South Australia alone indicates to me one reason why there are so many crashes,injuries and fatalities on the roads !

Vehicle inspection programmes are not cost effective. Very few accidents are caused by vehicle faults. The only thing inspection programmes achieve is improved cash flow for the inspectors. From experience with the NSW system, the inspectors feel they must pick up something to justify their jobs, and most of what they do find is minor and without the potential to cause an accident.
If you want to reduce the accident rate, teach people to drive properly and not to just pass a test.
