For those of us in Washington State, When you feel you may not be compliant, you can stop at any weigh station and ask for an inspection. you can go to any state police inspection station and do the same. When you feel you have a brake problem, they have heat cameras to see if your system has a faulty brake. They are your public servants, use them. I'll bet other states have the same service, even those with mandatory annual safety inspections.
Sure. We can use them, but they are required to enforce the laws. That means writing tickets and maybe even force you to have it towed. Not a good idea to use them to make sure you are compliant because they have to follow the law.
They could but never do. When they find a dangerous safety issue, wouldn't you want it repaired before you tow or drive it? If you were to have a accident after knowing the problem was not safe, you be in much more trouble than having it towed.
