[Spits] Tire cracking

[Doug Braun]

I feel sorry for you Brits who have to put up with an
overly-paranoid inspection system (as well as high
road and petrol taxes).  Especially for a car that is
only four years old!

In California they do emission inspections, but no
mechanical inspection.  I never heard of any claim
that mechanical defects were increasing the accident
rate, and there was never any controversy about adding
more inspections...
