One of those cultural-memory things. <g> We have the same thing here in the USA but it varies by state. Big open states with no significant pollution problems don't have any testing. Other states do, but it is left to the state to figure out and we usually just call it "emissions testing". Since most states have been doing "safety" inspections for years (lights, horn, tires, etc) we often just lump it under the "yearly inspection" category. The (federal) EPA does tells states that they have to do the emissions testing but the do no do any actual testing... they just approve state by state programs.
