They should scrap the whole inspection requirement -- Rinoki21 05/13/2020 1:03PM

People like to be able to see at night and in the rain - well most people ** -- bigbadbird 05/13/2020 2:26PM
And they need to pay the state a fee to figure that out? -- Vienna_Hokie 05/13/2020 3:53PM
It's a revenue thing ** -- EDGEMAN 05/13/2020 1:46PM
$16 a year??? No way it pays for itself ** -- LaneRat 05/13/2020 1:48PM
Plus $10 to change a $1 bulb so you don't have to come back for reinspect ** -- Vienna_Hokie 05/13/2020 3:55PM
Well, there are 7.5 million registered cars in VA🤔 ** -- VTMONEY94 05/13/2020 1:54PM
Not revenue for the state. Revenue for the shops. -- Beerman 05/13/2020 1:52PM
The inspection itself is a money loser for the shops but if there is -- vt_mughal 05/13/2020 2:26PM
Not a scam. Rent seeking. ** -- Beerman 05/13/2020 3:24PM

What is this individual freedom of which you speak? ** -- Hokie1992 05/13/2020 1:34PM
I'll bet the inspection requirement is driven by auto repair lobby more -- Hokie360 05/13/2020 1:19PM
I think polls say the general public favors them in VA. I know I do. ** -- 48zip 05/13/2020 3:34PM
That's why new car dealers offer free inspections. Just another -- IB4TECH 05/13/2020 2:16PM

They tried that last session, but the bill didn't get much traction. ** -- HokieNoVA 05/13/2020 1:13PM
I'm sure that effort was exhausting. ** -- DonHo-kieHi 05/13/2020 1:17PM
Well yeah,that's why they finally put the brakes on it. ** -- `lag 05/13/2020 1:20PM
Probably just a tired re-tread of prior attempts. ** -- Hokie360 05/13/2020 1:20PM
It’s a very fluid situation ? ** -- Rinoki21 05/13/2020 1:44PM
Just a signal that they should try a different approach ** -- DonHo-kieHi 05/13/2020 1:48PM
Steer it somewhere else, I agry ** -- Brown Water 05/13/2020 2:22PM
Dont know why people have a problem with VA safety inspections -- vt_mughal 05/13/2020 12:57PM
Agree. When I lived in Tenn there was no safety inspection. And you -- HokieNLot11 05/13/2020 2:58PM

Good in theory - main beef is safety inspecs for new cars ** -- FfxStationHokie 05/13/2020 1:02PM
They used to be 1 yr when older cars were 6 months, IIRC ** -- 48zip 05/13/2020 3:37PM
Hmm. New cars can skip 1st year inspections in VA. So 2 yrs! ** -- 48zip 05/13/2020 3:41PM
Agree that there could be some discounted sticker price for new car. -- Spud 05/13/2020 1:14PM
I think there should be 3-4 yr waiver for new cars ** -- FfxStationHokie 05/13/2020 1:17PM
FWIW, I did have a brake light burn out before my car was a year old -- Tafkam Hokie 05/13/2020 1:27PM

Thx! ** -- FfxStationHokie 05/13/2020 12:53PM
That is one thing I am really not looking forward to when I move back ** -- Vienna_Hokie 05/13/2020 12:33PM
