Vehicle Safety Inspection Systems: How Effective? by W. Mark Crain,
is a comprehensive examination of the federally mandated vehicle
safety inspection programs administered by most states. The author
finds that the programs have had no discernible effect on highway
safety and offers technical, political, and economic reasons for this
failure,
     The core of this work is a statistical analysis that compares
death and accident rates in states with and without inspection pro-
grams. Analyzed also are the basic premises underlying inspection
policies, the different types of programs, and the economic impact of
inspection regulations. The author concludes that, in view of its costs
and the absence of benefits, tbe overall vehicle safety inspection pro-
gram should be reevaluated and perhaps terninated.
     W. Mark Crain is associate professor of economics at Virginia
Polytechnic institute and State University and research associate at
the Iiversity's Center for Study of Public Choice. At present, he is
on leave at the University of California at Los Angeles.
