Can someone please tell me how they are going to determine the milage driven
per year? Yearly inspections? For which they charge a fee? And take the
opportunity to inspect for "violations"?
And if i do drive over 12,000 miles per year there still is the question of
holding older cars to an arbitrary smog standard which will most certainly be
devised to assure failure of a certain percentage of vehicles as has been
previously perpetrated by CA smog authorities.
This sounds like a load of crap to me. I think we would be very unwise to
trust these jerks. Sounds like more letter writing is in order.
