    Takes 30 seconds to learn how to jump the switch with 3 cents of wire. If you don’t understand that, you should not be working on brakes.

    I’m with automakers on this. Countless morons switch brake pads DIY until they burn through the brake rotors. As long as North America refuses to safety inspect vehicles, this lockout saves lives.

        The European brain can not comprehend.

        …that north America is a big continent with multiple countries and dozens of states, and many of these states do indeed require safety inspections.

        You’re not alone. I’ve seen plenty of Europeans having trouble comprehending that.

          So you confirm that there are states where vehicles don’t get inspected. Thanks. I wasn’t sure it could be true.
