garbage

Only a few states in the US have what you Brits would call an MOT. And they are quite lax. I see cars on a daily basis that would never be allowed to drive on European roads. But here in the land of the free, driving a shitbox is a lifestyle.

Ben would be great presenter. I love listening him talk about things.

If a car physically drives, your allowed to drive it in the US. States vary but We have no MOT that checks for rust, brake pad life, tire tread, etc. You have to periodically get your car Inspected, which is similar but less thorough. in most states, inspection checks the exhaust emissions and the check engine light. No check engine light and a working catalytic converter is a pass. the frequency of an inspection depends on the state, the year of your vehicle, and type of vehicle. For example, motorcycles are exempt in my state. If your brake lights are broken, you may get a ticket, but i dont know of a law that prevents you driving with your bumper dragging on the ground.

No MOT just the smog testing in most major centers.

No MOT requirement in the USA. Each year a driver has to tax their vehicle at the DMV and get a sticker for their car.

Hang on, who revealed the identity of the Stig, then?

Like everything in the USA, the inspection rules vary by state. Some have a safety inspection, some just have an emissions inspection, and some states just don't care as long as you pay your registration bill.

Inspections vary by state. Many have none at all and if your car has plates from one of those non inspect states you’re not subject to the inspection criteria unless the police feel your car presents a hazard to others or yourself. I’d love you guys to come over here and do a show! You can use my RS7, it’s made the trip across twice now. It’s no garage queen. Great episode.

MOT in America is done state by state and some states are very rigorous and some states are very relaxed. But it really depends where you live

Love both you guys and what you can do with 4 wheels. Hearing Ben talk about going from Cali to Moab got me thinking...let's do Moab on 2 wheels! Open invite to tour Moab or Green River on dirt bikes.

Who is this Abby on stage?

"Why do you love buying sheds?!" 😂

The reason it shows the thumbs out on the game is because people crash alot more on games. If you have a high force feedback wheel they are violent as he'll and do smash your thumbs to pieces. In a real car it's not necessary.

Car throatle?

Don’t waste your money on car vertical. I wish these celebs would be real and actually give an honest opinion. My report gave no accurate or thorough data, and their customer service just ignored me. other suppliers are much better in comparison

Most states have a state inspection, but it differs state from state

MOT really is a thing in the states but it’s very dependent on which state you’re in. Here in Florida if you said MOT, you’d be stared at like you had 3 heads! 😂

Curborough is awesome!

def more nepotism to this than he's saying

There's no American MOT equivalent. It's all state by state. More populous states and probably rustier states are more likely to have required inspections of some type. I'm in New Mexico and there is absolutely no inspection requirement except in the most populous county and that is just a smog check.

Did anyone else think that when Mike said about the new project car that "rolls over on its door handle's" think "FFS he's bought ANOTHER Rover shitbox..."

Also Drivetribe should come to NC and do the tail of the dragon

NC inspection is basically does it have all lights functional, horn, window tint isn't too dark, no check engine codes for emissions, and the emissions aren't tampered with... Or if you know someone to just submit the form.

Ben should do powerlap in the P50

$1000 car challenge in America?!? I hope you like pedaling.

It went so well, but she had to be pushed again… Because her dad was on tele…

Ahh, it’s Stiggy Wiggums! 😅

New DriveTribe car must be a 1976 Olds Delta88. I've never seen anything that could corner so poorly.

In Illinois we have emission testing but no mechanical worthiness inspection. As long as your emission controls are still in place, they don’t care if your wheels are about to fall off.

21:23 This varies by state. My home state had inspections every two years and at time of sale, while my current state has no inspections and just lets everyone drive what they want in whatever condition they feel like. It's really sketchy sometimes.

Here in the usa’s top hat its referred to as a safety in some parts. You only need to get it “safetied” once at the beginning of your ownership of said vehicle in order to get it insured. After that its up to you to do what you want with it. The only exception to that is vehicles weighing over 10000lbs as they need a full safety every year mainly to fully check everything to do with brakes. As you dont want massive trucks smashing through a whole bunch of cars at a red light.

In the Seattle, Washington area you have to have an emissions test to make sure you're not polluting. Otherwise, as long as your head/brake/tail/indicator lights are working and roughly the right colors, and you have current license plates, you can drive darned near anything without getting pulled over. The only aftermarket stuff I can think of that a cop will get irritable about is having overly dark window tint or a loud exhaust.

There is rust inspection on the east coast

10:41 Driving instructors have not taught 10 & 2 for a while now. 9 & 3 is safer if the airbag deploys

Ben and Mike. You need to come over to the States and do a Cannon Ball run. It would be fantastic for the Stig to have a New York to LA record!

Did Ben Collins ever drive a Skelta G-Force for Top Gear (that didn’t make it to air)? 🤓

These 2 together...funny as. Keep it up guys

Wish you guys could get Viki, Tiff or Quentin on this channel for an interview/drive.

I can envision a TV car show with Furnie, Ben and Hammond. I reckon that would be very watchable.

Quick, grab a P1 918 and LaFerrari and let’s see finally which one was faster around the track ha

MOT.... I assume will be the DMV in USA. Each state varies on their auto laws

That was awesome and raw. Great stuff.

I have a question for Ben, and I hope he answers it: Do you still have the slightly-dented white Fiat Uno that you secretly bought in late-night deal?? 😅😂

The Stig Ken's aye.

No MOT on a federal level. However registration requirements vary from state to state. California only has smog tests, but other states may have a "safety inspection" of some sort. This can mean structural and brake/suspension tests, but is typically much easier to pass than MOT. But $1000 won't buy much here since inflation is so high. Maybe $2500 or so would be more reasonable without changing the essence of the challenge.

Oklahoma has no vehicle requirements or inspections. Just a registration tax each year.

I’d be interested to see a Stig trio take on some kind of challenge. Perry, Ben and whoever the 3rd one was. The current guy playing stig can’t be the same as the 3rd one nowadays, his body shape and driving style look different.

No national MOT equivalent here in the colonies!

Definitely no national MOT concept, it's up to individual states. I live in Washington State and you can get any piece of junk you want licensed. It just has to pass emissions inspection, but cars more than 25 years old are exempt as well as any cars model year 2009 or newer. So that means only cars model year 1998-2008 need an emissions check. Police will pull you over if a car is not what they consider road worthy, but that is rare.
