The New Hampshire State Police are very much AGAINST this elimination of the N.H. yearly car safety inspection. The police want to do police work, and leave the car inspection to the car mechanic inside a garage with a car lift to inspect brakes, tires, rust, wheel bearings, lights, horn, defrost, steering, wiper blades, windshield glass, exhaust and other car safety items.

It's been this way in New Hampshire for 95-years, since 1931, and it was an excellent inspection system with 95-years experience.
NJ inspection only checks to see if the check engine light is on or if the computer threw a code for an issue that was cleared but not resolved. They do not check brakes, suspension, lights or any other safety issues.
