6 month inspections are too much of a burden. Once a year is fine. In VA everything gets checked annually. If your pads are too low or rotors are to worn you have to fix it before you get your safety sticker.
I agree, though, that it's a big driver problem. People need to maintain safe distances at speed and there needs to be a reduction in driver aggression. I see too many weaving in and out of traffic at speed on the highway all the time.
I'm sure if all the slow ***** would learn to drive in the far right lane this would mitigate a lot of the weaving.
