Inspections help keep junk and unsafe vehicles off the road. It's a pretty inexpensive safeguard for the highways.
Not sure how RV'ers that don't enter the state often keep registration valid... I expect Escapees and others will come up with a solution, but I suspect it's a small number of vehicles compared to total state resident populations.
AS I recall it, Mass inspection sticker was $85 for two years. Fine for no sticker on windhield was $100 or more for each time if you got stopped for it. Stickers were different color for each month, so easy to spot if expired.
ALso one of the least expensive fees that Mass RMV charges for vehicle registrations.
My interpretations is it's about the money. Here in Tn you have to register a canoe or a log if you are going to use it in the water and a boater safety course is mandatory as is flotation devices, and a list of things. In the fifties though the eighties who would ever have thought of this. It is, "there ought to be a law," its about the children, it is about safety and the tally is over a hundred dollars.
And hunting and fishing licenses for deer and trout too approaching 200.00 and what does it get more Rangers to make sure your paperwork is in order....and trails and such for bird watchers etc who don't pay any of the freight.
Sorry drifted a bit off subject but it iss all about the money.
