We've got 'em in NY. A basic test for functionality of lights and brakes and a front end check to make sure the wheels are not falling off.

$37.00 and it's worth every penny to keep the criminally dangerous off the roads.

I get to pay $10.00 for the diesels.........no emissions testing.

You would think they would be slightly embarrased by the noise it makes while attempting to apply the brakes.

Most of my customers freak out when the pad light just flickers every now and then, and can't get me out fast enough to replace the brakes.

I guess it all has to do with the tax bracket you are in, and if your brain is fully developed.

People are just dumb, brakes are brakes, they cost what they cost. Just change the pads when the light comes on, could it be any more simple?
