If you are speeding and have a whole bunch of equipment violations you are asking for trouble.

If a ride looks like it is about to fall apart and the owner neglects basic repairs to stay roadworthy, I would question how well the owner maintains more important areas. Are the tires, brakes working proper?, is it going to to spew oil all over the road? Certain things may become a hazard to others so I am all for loading someone up with warnings/equipment violations if the ride is in a state of dis-repair.

If the ride is built properly and well maintained you won't have to worry about equipment violations.
the car wasnt bad. I had fixed everything on it. it had a new head and the brakes were all new. i think the only thing that really stood out was the cracked windshield. everything else was ok, tires were new, and no rust holes on the car.
