In California, if you are low income and have spent $650 towards emission repairs and still don't pass, they will give you a waiver so you can still keep driving your car. The difference in air quality in California is night and day compared to the 70's and 80's:even there are far more cars on the road today. Bottom line: emission regulations work and have really cleaned up the air, so I would hate it if there was significant backsliding on the emissions standards.

The prominent you tuber that got fined. Well, the lawsuit was brought forth at the end of the Obama administration. He was fined under the first Trump administration. The regulations he ran a foul love were created under the Clinton administration and went into effect under the Bush administration. The motor in my sprinter van just died at under 150k due to the egr valve not dealing with idle time. It was a great motor that was the bane of my existence the entire time. owned it due to the emissions system. So, believe me When I say, I am with you. I wish we could legally delete these systems on our own personal vehicles. It could have saved my motor. The problem is that we will never get any of. These laws changed if we can’t fight with facts and stop blaming the “others”.

Engines are much less polluting than in the past. The problem is that vehicles have gotten so much bigger and heavier that they require much more energy to move around, which results in fuel consumption not going down. It's not engineering, it is consumers (and governments) wanting bigger and heavier vehicles with lots of creature comforts and only marginally functional safety systems in the vehicle. Put jail time on using phones in the car (at all, even hands free), make driving without a license a felony, make insurance cover 2M damages and make insurances pay damages to people that are a victim of uninsured people like in many EU countries. Yes, if you are the victim of a hit and run, or of someone that isn't (sufficiently) insured, combined insurance companies have to pay your damages. They do that by charging a bit more and putting that money in a foundation that pays in these cases. Prohibit cars that are a danger to cyclists and pedestrians, make safety inspections federal and yearly. All of these will increase safety more than "lane assist", "adaptive cruise control" "reverse cameras" and all that rubbish.

Electric vehicles are exempt from emissions testing in Illinois. Not even going to get into the technical issues ignored in this video but the big reason for adding DEF to diesels is that near the end of the 1990's people studying the causes of smog formation came to the conclusion that it was the emissions of oxides of nitrogen that were the limiting factor which is why 25 years of attacking smog by controlling hydrocarbons wasn't working. Diesel engines put out a lot more NOx than gasoline cars and the only way to control those emissions was by adding DEF to react with the NOx in the exhaust.

We have emissions testing in seven eastern and south eastern Wisconsin counties for most gasoline/light duty vehicles with OBDII.

[@garyleibitzke4166]

Most of the horrendous emissions stuff on diesels started with the 2007 model year.

[@naradaian]

The particulate stuff is being reassessed where common sense managed to await the US sobering up again

[@logicthought25]

Major urban areas in all states are forced by the Feds to emission test. If testing isn't done funding for road maintenance is withheld.

I blew up my work truck a 2011 Ford f550 first year of 6.7 with def in it with 12,000 miles on it. Yea that was fun explaining to the boss

[@emilio325]

Massachusetts is also a strict emission/safety state until cars reach 15 years old.. then it becomes emissions exempt.. still have to pass safety.

Only idiots roll coal. They are compensating for something...

I am moving to Kansas!

[@BigBundy82]

How bad is it to the earth/environment destroying good running cars!!.Then, the reproduction of a new car when you already have a good car in the first place????

[@MegaChasevideos]

Illinois is actually not super strict, it’s dependent on what county you are in. Most counties don’t have inspections. the farmers would definitely revolt if we did 😂

[@NorthernChev]

It's mostly based on population density. The bigger the city, the more pollution you have from more trucks, etc. Requiring more regulation. It's a population density thing. It's the same almost nationwide for larger cities.

In my opinion, "balance" is one of the most beautiful words, next to "salvation". Unfortunately a few high profile KZbinrs have drawn attention to the issue by making dumb choices and videos thereof. Thanks for the correction Jake about rolling coal being more power. The government needs to get off of cars and realize that jet planes make much more pollution. Oh, but the politicians use jet planes. I get it. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

[@agrippa1234]

I own a C7 Conv manual and a brandy new RAV 4 Prime XSE so I play both sides of fuel usage, driving, etc (well it's a '14 Vette with 20K miles) but giving up on diesel standards and other practices like cutting off CATS is just another nail which we don't need to fall prey to. So, how do you set that line to allow diesels to pollute, enthusiasts? Workers who need a diesel truck? How will you mandate/control that? Good luck.

[@bartismoellis1052]

I wouldn't have a problem with smog checks if the inspection consisted of putting a prob in the tailpipe and checking the emissions. They don't look or care what is under the hood as long as the tail pipe test passes for that make model and year of car or truck you get your smog certificate

[@michaelmarkofski4073]

yeah fl has no inspection at all and if you know someone in the towing business you can get a title for anything with a vin and then tag it unless it’s ever had a salvage title somewhere else then you have to get a dot inspection through fl highway patrol but it’s only a safety inspection and no emissions… then you get a regular fl title not a salvage title. That’s why insurance gets a certificate of destruction on “totaled cars “

[@studija.andrius]

Hi, there!! from Lithauania!! used to live in Kansas in 2000s.. Dieselgate fine was like 4.3 bilion!!..

[@MikeEngblom]

Once had a BMW 325xi. It was a great daily driver, then the BMW service recall notices came in requiring me to take it to an authorized BMW dealer. The closest was 350 miles away. Dumped it at a loss. Never again. What a POS.

[@warrengee-f9l]

40 years ago diesel fuel was a lot cheaper than gasoline ... now about the game price & a diesel today is ? 20G option ... no longer worth it
