Safety & Emissions Inspections -ETCG1

Yes, I made this video live on my birthday November 30, 2015.

This topic came from the suggestion box over at EricTheCarGuy.com from GSRGirl.

She wanted to know my thoughts on annual inspections. She had recently had a bad experience with one and was looking for some input. Given her story, I’m not surprised she was not happy with the situation.

Years ago I held a Pennsylvania emissions and inspection license. I still remember what I went through in order to get that certification. It was a proud day indeed when I found out that I had passed and would be able to work as an inspection mechanic. Thing is, it comes with a lot of responsibility. Not saying I wasn’t up to the task, just that it was a bit more than I expected in the beginning.

What are your thoughts on annual safety & emissions inspections? Do you even have them where you live? If so, do you feel they are a welcome addition, or a nuance?
