do they not have MOTs in the states?
To add insult to injury, once the car comes to a stop the wheel comes along and gives them another whack on the rear!

Unsurprisingly, no. Well, some states have no inspections, some have just emissions checks and some have full safety inspections. The majority, however, fall in the "no safety inspections" group.
Quite scary and perhaps one cause for their high road death rate. The UK has c.2.9 deaths / 100,000 inhabitants, the US has c.12.4 deaths / 100,000 inhabitants.
