New York Governor Kathy Hochul has unveiled a crackdown on "ghost cars" - vehicles that are registered and insured, but lack the required safety inspections and often pose a significant risk to public safety on the state's roads. As part of the targeted enforcement effort, state authorities will be stepping up inspections and issuing fines to drivers of vehicles that are in non-compliance with New York's vehicle safety regulations. The move is aimed at reducing the number of unroadworthy vehicles on the state's roads, which can lead to increased risk of accidents and injuries. With the initiative set to take effect immediately, drivers are advised to ensure their vehicles are up to date with all necessary safety checks to avoid penalties.
