Safety inspections are one thing I didn’t have in Florida that I am happy to pay for in Virginia because it helps keep raggedy ass cars off the roads.

:disgust: and your :disgust: of the polar bears.

:member: when they first attempted introduced the requirements for emissions testing? I do. The local news crew brought a brand new car and it failed lol. That never took flight.

http://www.wbrz.com/news/here-s-where-y ... -is-going/
The Environmental Protection Agency has deemed the air quality in five parishes, East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Ascension, Livingston and Iberville Parishes, to be more closely monitored by the Department of Environmental Quality. That's attributed to a few factors, including population and industrial plant presence and it's why those five parishes require an emissions test. The inspection stickers in those parishes cost $18 a year and two-year inspection issuance is not allowed. The increased cost offsets the cost of necessary air quality emissions testing equipment each station is required to use.

For the most part, the cost is divided three ways: $4.75 to the station performing the inspection; $4 goes to Louisiana State Police; and $1.25 goes to the Office of Motor Vehicles. The extra $8 cost in the five parishes goes to the emission testing. The revenue is used to fund the operating budget of each agency.

That revenue adds up. Louisiana State Police's portion of one year stickers and CVI stickers is about $3.5 million. LSP's portion of two-year stickers is about $8.75 million. The OMV's portion of CVI and one-year stickers is about $1.2 million and its portion of two-year stickers is about $2.7 million.

The cost to produce stickers per thousand is $38.86, CVI stickers cost $419.16 per thousand (price is high because of quantity ordered), rejection stickers cost $52.93 per thousand, and emissions stickers cost about $5.05 per thousand. The total purchase order for all items ordered for FY17 was $273,025.

Drivers found in violation of not having an up-to-date inspection sticker face a maximum $500 penalty and possible jail time of up to six months.

Not sure why they need stickers. Do they not have technology out there?

We've had SMOG checks for many decades here with no need for special stickers. You fail, you don't get your registration.

:wrong:

In places the law is properly enforced, it works great.
meh, I see busted shit boxes everywhere and in numerous states. Locally, the police dont make a habit of harassing the poors. "What good would it do?" They would also be deemed racist/targeting and shamed because of the strong correlation, regionally, of race and poverty which equals uninsured shit boxes on the road.

edit: also as frusterating, teh cops setup check points for inspection sticker dates in well to do areas. IE where teh poors are not. Its just another unequally enforced tax." Oh, you are 1 month out on your newish $25-50k car?? Here is a $275 ticket. Drive safely. "

Ehhhh.

NJ got rid of safety inspections a couple years ago and the number of cars with missing headlights, bald tires, bad brakes, and other very unsafe maladies has skyrocketed.
interesting. You can still be cited for those violations, correct?

Back in the day...one had to take at least a half day off from work to get inspected at a state run inspection station...... A Full Day to do anything at DMV

Fun Fact..... they checked brakes by stopping distance....a trooper would get in, floor it and SLAM on the brakes......

Front Plates? We ain't got no front plates! We don't need no front plates! I don't have to show you any stinking front plates!
