For most people yes. My perspective is that I really don’t want government inspecting every car on the road because those kinds of issues aren’t a meaningful part of the risk I undertake on the road which is dominated almost entirely by incompetence, failure to follow traffic laws, old people who shouldn’t be driving anymore, and morons using their phones while driving.

Perfect performance thus isn’t meaningfully expected to improve my safety but it will cost me money.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office found the safety benefit too small to quantify that it exists.
