Saskatchewan plan for mandatory twice yearly car inspections
J A Christie, Saskatchewan Safety Council chair, proposes compulsory biannual vehicle inspections costing $2 per car. Regina and Saskatoon would host first stations at about $100,000 each, with 50,000 cars per site yearly. Plan envisions 100 private garages province wide, nine hours daily, 11 months yearly, total $240,000 annual cost to government, and wind shield stickers certifying road readiness. Christie argues stations profit and reduce fatal accidents caused by human error, backed by RCMP and Regina police.
