Oh but we have strict emissions testing.
Here on the opposite coast the safety inspection is as strict as emissions.
I’m not even going there…… or I’ll be getting banned for a while.
Do they crown the roads? When I drove through rural NV the roads were spirit-level flat. Easier to build that way, I'm sure, but they don't shed water.
When I was a kid in the 80s, interstates had a black stripe down the middle of each lane. From oil when all cars were RWD and had rope rear main seals. Now there's not so much of that here, but you might have it there, since cars don't die of rust.
So you've got oil slicks, bald tires, no road crown, and people who don't slow down. Yippie!

But when its icy, they slow down 5 mph over the posted speed limit and some even turn off the cruise control!
A lot of dust builds up on the roads and turns to slime after a rain. This Midwest boy looped his truck around in an intersection in Hanford, CA after a minor rain shower giving it the beans in a left turn situation in a fairly new 2001 Ram. It totally caught me off guard, my being new to CA.
This is going to happen in the next decade on new vehicles. No reason for it not too in many new cars, its just a software update.
The voices to limit speed in cars is growing by leaps and bounds. One day it will be common in all states or from the Fed.
