Illinois EPA ordered the last two Chicago auto emissions testing locations closed by end of 2016.
Chicago drivers will have to go elsewhere (suburbs).
In Illinois
New cars get a 4 year break from emissions testing.
Cars older than 4 years get tested every other year.
Cars older than 1996 get a break from emissions testing.
I agree with the writer that somewhere down the road, this test will be eliminated - probably later rather than sooner be cause the loony left will scream about VW and their emissions scam, nevermind that it was diesels only(see any nuke plants built lately ?)
Chicago’s Mayor Richard j Daley had Chicago become the first big city to test for auto emissions. Originally, the test was voluntary.
Believe it or not, cash for clunkers pulled a lot of old cars off the road ( not that they wouldn’t be gone by now anyway, without cash for clunkers).
We’re just not seeing many 1988 sentras for sale for 500 bucks on a street corner anymore.
Governmental utopia is the road to slavery.
