When I lived in South Carolina, there was mandatory yearly vehicle
safety inspections and high registration fees for cars 20 years old and
newer. If you had a clapped out POS older than that, there were no
inspections and something like a $20 registration fee. Thus, poor
folks, who didn't have the means to maintain a car in the first place
were encouraged to drive the worst of the worst.
The assortment of rolling deathtraps on the road there was quite
interesting, and it wasn't uncommon to see car wrecks that looked more
like plane crash sites as these things disintegrated on impact.
