    And the driver still needs to prove they are capable of driving, by taking a test every 5 years.

I agree with that. I think cgod's argument is correct, and I think there's a solution:

Instead of checking the car, take a test. Road signs, situation response, maybe virtual driving around the city. Same $50, reasonable result.

You fail, you take some time and try once more, for another $50.

Speaking of which...

    There isn't anyone in the USA who cannot save $10/year. Or even $1/week for a year.

Personal finance is not the most popular activity even in the US, is it?
