Samenvatting
It is shown that PMVI for passenger cars adds little to the voluntary efforts of vehicle owners and is ineffective in preventing accidents, is extremely costly for any benefits derived, and is a program that can not be mandated in the name of the public interest. PMVI will prevent approximately six tenths of 1% of motor vehicle accidents. Also estimates indicate that there is approximately a nickel's worth of benefit for each dollar spent on PMVI with an accident cost of $167 per vehicle and an inspection cost of $20 per vehicle.
