And the service provider has to keep these records for 3 years on your vehicle. Can't wait for the database set-up on this one.

Decline and then try to sell your car later...

[SCalGal]

If it wasn’t amended, you get cited for incorrect pressure based on the repair shop’s readings.

[bikerman]

coming soon, keeping records on how many times you took a $hit.

How many times you got laid
How much laundry you did
How many breathes of air you consumed.

Another make-work position for a government bureaucrat........

[Michael.SF.]

Well, there is an out clause (sort of), Article 3(b):

The check is NOT required if the tires are deemed to be unsafe.

How is that government efficiency? They will send you back on the road with bald tires onto an occassionally wet, oil slicked highway, but let's make sure you are not adding to your carbon footprint!

[ThunderSleeps]

Who decides what the "correct" tire pressure is? The tire manufacturer has an idea, based on tire construction and intended load. The vehicle manufacturer has an idea, based on desired ride characteristics. A savy driver may want to make adjustments based on driving style.

Then toss in the transients. Ambient air temperature changes change tire pressure. Tires heat up under high speed driving, changing tire pressure. Pressure is relative, it'll read one thing at sea level, another when you drive up into the mountains. Beach driving or other soft-surface (mud) often requires you to lower tire pressure to increase contact patch size. Tire and vehicle manufacturers recommendations are based on average loading, light or heavy vehicle loading may require adjustments for optimal performance.

So, after all that, some big-government bureaucrat is going to try to tell me, and Joe down at the service station what the right tire pressure is? And just how well calibrated is Joe's gauge? Hey, I know, lets create more regulation and bureaucracy related to the gauges, more un-paid work for Joe...yeah, that'll help the economy.

Wait a minute - isn’t this what 0 proposed - that we were to do this for better gas mileage?

[The_Victor]

So now it's not enough for the driver to keep a pressure gauge and monitor his/her own tire pressure. The pressure has to be certified by a qualified government stooge.

WE ARE NOW ENERGY INDEPENDENT. PARTY TIME!

This state needs to go on a low-CARB diet.

[Eye of Unk]

I have bad news people, new vehicles with an on board air pressure monitoring system can beam a signal to a freeway data acquisition box with your ID and you may get a fine if you are driving on under inflated tires.

Not a joke or a conspiracy, most new vehicles have this, all it takes is the go ahead from the Feds or the state to get a signal from your Onstar or such. You may not even have to drive the vehicle, you get a fine for it before it leaves your driveway, after a warning.

CA should just get it over with and assign every household and business a State Nanny to watch over every move, ensure compliance with every regulation and submit all of the applicable reports to the appropriate Cheif Nanny agencies.

[AnalogReigns]

When are Californians going to wake up, and say “NO!” to nanny-state tyranny?

[Carry_Okie]

I predict that this will actually INCREASE fuel consumption. For example, I have a truck I drive much less than once a month. I will have to drive it down the mountain to get it inspected? How about boat trailers? This is just plain idiotic.

I have never seen a rule so likely to induce a negative reaction on the part of the public. I hope the greenies and the Slave Party takes the brunt, but with Arnold in power, one can make the case that this is designed to provoke a reaction against Republicans.

I've joked for years with my kids/grandkids that I want to get a donkey.

A donkey doesn't spook like a horse nor need grains and much less vet care.

A donkey isn't as stubborn as a mule.

A donkey ‘gases up’ along the side of the road, for free.

I think I'm not kidding anymore,

Indeed, I think I'll get ahead of the curve and start breeding donkeys.

More legislation from the granola state- the land of fruits and nuts.

[paul51]

let me guess....the fine for each infraction, $800

[riri]

While living overseas I watched the UK version of COPS and ticketing people for low tire pressure was a big past time of the police. Ofcourse, it's just another revenue stream to suck dry the milk cows for what little they have left.

They stop a car full of illegals and let them go free into Brit society but heaven help the anglo saxon tax payer with a low tire.

Man, when are people going to say enough? Look what they have done and continue to do to our most beautiful state, once the seat of the American dream. A travesty.

[Freeport]

So. Lets all buy 10,000+ pound vehicles that get 5 mpg shall we so we can avoid this stupidity.... :-)

CA is simply implementing bammies ideas:
