If you were black and brought those inspectors a "fish plate," they would pass a bullet ridden car thru inspection! Lol, I have to agree with Angry Al Gonzales on this one.

Totally bogus - I hope they put the "inspectors" on a job digging ditches. If you were white, you failed; if you were black, you passed.

The safety inspections are a joke. I've passed with bald tires and failed because my one fog light was burned out. Bearing in mind, it is illegal to operate fog lights in DC. As far as taxis go though, they were actually inspected before? I've never been in a DC cab that didn't immediately remind my of being in a third world country.

That "car inspection" process was the biggest dog and pony show I've ever seen in my life. My car got rejected thrice even though it was in perfect condition and the mechanics couldn't find a thing wrong. Apparently there was a "computer error"... Thank god!
