Here in Pennsylvania it's a annual mechanical and emissions inspection. Wouldn't you know everybody needs wiper blades at the very least every year. And until a year or so ago it was an annual registration fee, now we can pay for a two year registration, that's progress you know!!
Wiper blades, or headlights, or turn signal bulbs........
I once had a mechanic tell me that the State would come down on them if they DIDN't find anything wrong - implied they weren't doing a "proper" inspection...
