- The Texas Senate voted 20-11 to advance House Bill 3297, which would kill vehicle safety inspections for non-commercial cars.
This has worked in Arizona and Florida. No reason it won't be the same in Texas.
Yeah, because we want to be like Florida 🤦♀️
@@rhentertainment3941 Because reality does not care for politics.
@rhentertainment3941 rather be like Florida than Cali, New York, or Washington state any day every day trump 2024🔥🔥🔥
@@trollmastermike52845 that's right
What you mean for one anybody can pay a low fee to pass inspection no matter whats goin on
It's up to the driver to make sure your car is safe
Good luck with that.
I know two women who only put gas in their cars - and that's all they know to do. Please speak for yourself. 🤔
Let me know how that works out for you if you're in an accident.
Agree no more Inspections.
Wasting time and money
You still have to pay the 7 dollars AND.... Still have to get and PAY FOR emissions tests. This is All about money and nothing else.
Absolutely BS@@Jon-dz2cl
I remember having a car that I cannot get passed because the engine light never would cut off. I drove dirty for so long.
Take it to a shop????
@Shawn C I obviously did that sir.
@@ListlessSpectre You do realize that some people may have money problems.
Exactly and it always stay on even after getting a transmission installed or engine n have to do it under thr radar driving
@eveharris30 exactly👍🏾
Not just that but mechanics can damm well get over on people🤦🏾
If you can't perform these safety inspections yourself, you shouldn't be driving in the first place.
Totally agree i drive trucks and we do our own inspections
I agree with this👍🏾💯
Some People just need to be made to take care of their cars, or don't drive them!
Lol half the cars in Houston got bogus inspection stickers anyway😂😂
As a former inspector..nothing has changed. Its all about the $$$. Its not about safety because if you are too lazy to change your headlight, wipers, tail light or tires (that tint tho)...you are only going to do it ONCE a year. I'd rather spend the money on the border.
How about doing them for free?
@John Scott the inspection isn’t bad it’s the damn stickers costing $75 is ridiculous plus the $25 inspection now your looking at an unnecessary $100 spent, I agree they should keep the law but lower the costs.
It's not the $30 it's the price gouging these mechanics make while holding leverage on the inspection plus Texas needs the people to pay the $70 to register they're vehicles.
I've seen people charging on FB $100 for illegal inspection, this is a plus.
Until you get pulled over for falsifying a government document which is 10X that amount in NYS...dumb idea
100$ is too high
No it's not I'll have one please 😂
Remove sales tax and property taxes too.
Inspection in some way is needed and someway doesn't.
Brake lights go out anytime not just that day of inspections. You as a driver must check your vehicle is in great condition. Once the dashboard lights up just take it to a shop and scan it.
The inspection was mainly made for emissions. Now that I agree to have.
@John Scott since when Houston has fixed roads. We still have pot holes, based on Tuner going to fix them. Don't mention the 288 and 610. Because it was said, bltwy 8 tollway was going to be used to pay the construction. Prices where boosted.
School yeah at least there was change banning HISD cuz hell. My father worked for them for 19 years. They had so many superintendent replacements due to underscores. Some hidden reasons. So, Tax money wasn't used properly. My father witnesses how principals are trying to hide scores. Due to a few not all just a few okay, incompetent teachers had low scores and still managed to keep them in the schools.
Police only take calls and arrive 1 hour later or next day. Sometimes waiting for the police, we gotten tired waiting and went to sleep, next thing you know on your PJs. When someone knocks on the door.
The fire department, we don't have wild fires like California does.
Food stamps some people may need, specially veterans I fully support them. While others take advantage of it. For example, buy Gatorades in packs. Goes on weekends to resell them at the soccer games. Get the cash, do whatever they pleased.
I own a small business i am tired of paying taxes. The government and state is just an old Mob. Give us a percentage and we leave you alone. Hell you grab a quarter, they will accumulate until it is sufficient to lock you in and place charges.
I could see maybe every two years but not total abolishment and what's with the fee still remaining in place?
Bullcrap, the only people against it is the safety inspection mafia. Brand new cars have to get inspection, I'll check my own brake lights thank you.
Vehicle inspection don't make any difference. I remember as a child in the 70s in FL, having to sit in line while my dad brought the car for vehicle inspections. I hated it. They stopped doing it in the early 80's and there hasn't been any detrimental effects of stopping them. They're a good idea in theory, but in practical application, they're a complete waste of time.
That Pakistan guy is definitely money hungry in the video. He doesn’t wanna lose his revenue.
@@GetSocialButterfly If you invested in the equipment to do inspection would you not like getting a return?
actual facts and statistics don't support your argument...
Texas is going to end up like China .
So basically this mechanic is saying: "Please dont pass this bill because i dont want to lose money. I dont care that Texans are suffering financially as long as Im ok." Sir, if you cant garner customers without government assistance, you should go out of business.
😂😂😂😂 exactly
8/10 of these shops & people will go bankrupt very soon😂
@@Shiesty9168 hopefully the gig is up. Scammers
go after the jackasses driving down road with highbeams on
He just upset cause he won’t be able to charge $30 for a damn license plate light
More like he's upset because he can't charge nobody an arm and a leg 😂 and $95 for a front light
ILLinois has no state inspection. Many states dont. Some states have a 8 year driver license.
I watch a CZcams channel called just rolled in. Its short clips of what customers bring into the mechanic shop. And a lot of what they show is absolutely terrifying, you don't want these people on the road.
That channel is awesome! So many wild things that come into these shops.
I love that channel
When does Texas start watering crops with sports drinks?
Great movie that is turning into our reality
It's got electrolytes 😂😂
When more Californians show up.
Of course the mechanic does not like it
Of course not who is he going to rip off 😂and charge a arm and leg to u
I just want to straight pipe my shitbox and avoid the emissions check every year.
They never do all that inspecting just emissions. Check light on failure and that’s about it.
Yeah my mechanic has an inspection license. Doesn’t check a damn thing except the emissions.
Send a bill in to eliminate vehicle registration. Then maybe we’ll be getting somewhere. It’s like paying for permission to be able to drive the vehicle you own . If you don’t have the correct number the road pirates will extort you again . Free men don’t ask permission
@johnscott9180with a damn title !! Hello !!
It doesn't matter if they keep car inspections. Do people not realize how many car inspection places actually sell inspection stickers. My car didn't pass inspection 11yrs ago & i just pay an extra $50 & my car is legal.
Hope they pass that bill
Me too
Of course shops will be against it
That we don't have in California. Never have.
This is common sense legislation! The state inspection is another way to gouge regular folks.
No! It's to keep cars Safe on the Roads!
Now people will drive with 1). No Brake Lights
2). Bald Tires
3) Smoking Engines
4) Head Lights out
5) No Windshield Wipers working properly
The Lists goes on and on
and on!!!
Insurance companies are behind this I suspect 🤔
hardly do you really think an insurance company likes to pay claims? No they take money but it is hard to get money from them.
The inspections at least required the driver to show proof of insurance. On well, good luck everybody.
If you need the government to tell you to inspect or upkeep your car you don't need to d4ive
As a person who had their State inspection license. All we were checking was headlights, taillights tire ware and brakes on me 🙏🏾
The reporter didn't say brakes. Checking how much brake lining or brake pad left would really be appreciated!
@@youtubeobserverz what I mean by brakes is stopping power from 30mph to a complete stop
@@sumoworldradiocjdadj4071 Oh, now I understand. Thank you!
What you never check to see if the horn was working so a driving could give some kind of warning before they ran over someone.
@@lutherbrenek2888 let be honest when driving into the bay we have to blow the horn 😂
they should at least lower it down and get the sticker at the inspection place with it for like 20/30 bucks all in one ....can they do the tollways instead ever since covid I've gotten late fees..by the time it gets to the house the toll due date is already past due ...I don't use it everyday and already owe a lot ....and I already paid a lot last year
This is not going to be any good.
I had a vehicle fail inspection in Texas for a "faulty" gas cap. I don't live in a county where emissions testing is required, so all I can assume is that the shop I went to regularly made some quick cash by threatening drivers with a failed inspection unless they wanted to go ahead and buy whatever upsell was being pushed at that time. In my case, they wanted $27.99 for the cap, plus a minimum of one hour labor to replace the cap. $90 labor to unscrew a gas cap and screw on a new one. I wasn't looking to get screwed that day, so I just said "Fail me. I'll go somewhere else from now on."
The reason they charge $90 for labor is because the CEL on your dash is a generic "Evaporative Emissions" code. In order to isolate whether the leak is in your cap, your Evap canister, purge valve and lines an hour of diagnostics time is needed. Simply replacing your cap might not fix the problem.
@@desertsoldier41 Thanks for the explanation. You are correct, and I would completely agree with all you said if the CEL had been on. In that instance, though, there was no light on. The vehicle was not even two years old. I remember the tech saying he had tested the gas cap on some type of machine. Whether this machine is real or not, I don't know. I do recognize that parts do fail, but I didn't believe that to be the case. It was just a dishonest attempt to fleece a customer by legalized extortion.
@@lugwrenchknucklebuster5256 The state machine has a tester, but it often pops false negatives. Again the only way to be sure is to do an EVAP test. Also the monitor can be triggered without a code, it takes several drive cycles to pop a light. But if the monitor is sensing a pending code it will fail.
BS about endangering safety. They only checked a few things and all except the brakes will get a Texas Leo on your a** in no time at all. Save your propaganda.
WASTE OF F TIME
Mechanics say bill that removes yearly mandatory expensive trip to the mechanics is bad for mechanics.
They hardly make any money on them anywase lol. A safety inspection is $7.00
The emissions testing stays the same, emissions tested combined with safety is roughly 21-27ish dollars I forget exact price lol but safety is for sure $7, I drive a diesel I only have to get safety inspections no emissions
@@Dmaxtyler Safety inspections are scams. You heard the man "Texas is the number one state for road fatalities in the country" which proves the inspections don't help in preventing anything. They also want to walk around your car playing "cop" and fail you because of window tint. Thank goodness the scam inspection is going away!
Many of these Repair & Inspection places like to "Take Advantage of Women & Young Girls" by telling them they need this repair or that but when I look at the vehicle with my eyes & computer.
There's nothing wrong with it. They just basically Con Women & Men that know nothing about Cars into repairs not needed
Finally I can tint the front 5% 😂
No more safty inspection but they still charge us the inspection fee. Tell me about revenue and not Public Safety.... Also why dose it take 3 years... to implement changes like this.
Inspections=cash grab
NOW...ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES BRUH...
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Remove the front plate requirement while they are at it
Just lower the cost.
But they still will charge the piss out of you for something !! They will still stick it to you some how
@johnscott9180 the fee it self is what I am referring too. My vehicles are well maintained. Its the fees I'm tired of and they always find a way to fee you today no matter what!!
On inspections I've removed so many unsafe cars from the roads, you should see the crap on the roads in Alabama, whole front end caved in and still driving it etc
When is he signing it. My sticker is about to expire.
That's fraud of the state against owners of non-commercial vehicles -to even require an annual permission fee to use private non commercial property (not owned by state) under guise they call a "registration". That's fraud and racketeering by the state.
I can finally straight pipe the beamer😎
We need to get rid of the $76 registration fee to that would save Texans a lot of money.. but big cities still have to pay for emissions text.. we shouldn’t have to pay the state of Texas any thing to drive our cars..it’s our car.. not the state of Texas… end property taxes businesses taxes school taxes and registration taxes… end all taxes.. stop paying government servants more money than you earn..
IF YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY IS LIVING HERE IN TEXAS YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, IF THEY LIVE IN OTHER STATES THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO WORRY! IF YOU LEAVE THE STATE OF TEXAS IN AN UNINSPECTED VEHICLE YOU COULD BE TICKETED FOR NO INSPECTION.
False False False. Plus most other states don't have inspections because they figured out it is a system rampent with corruption and scams where you can bribe to pass inspection anyways. California and New York might be the exception but who would ever want to go there.
lol owner of garage "last thing we need is for the state to cut 90% of my revenue stream" :D
We don't have to in Oklahoma & we're doing just fine.
Who lives in Oklahoma? 😂
@John Scott It doesn't matter, you can measure it per capita "genius"!!
Of course obviously, these mechanics will say its important because they get the money..imagine how many cars in Texas specially Houston! They all go for state inspection. How much money is involved
Well i would say Good initiative by Governor Abbot !! He understands common people problems
They just want money so they’ll say we need it- brakes can fail during the year. Too much money to spend on a one time a year check.
Sure we no longer need to have our cars inspected but we still have to pay $7.50 per year. What kind of savings are those? They still get to keep the $7.50 for what?
That Pakistan guy in the video is definitely money hungry. He doesn’t want to lose his revenue.😆
I should have to pay for something that keep your store open, it's like mandating I give you part of my check. It's not the best argument for keeping it in place.
Safety this, safety that!!!! How was it in the 1970?? 1980???
People in Texas especially Dallas. Do you really think everybody out there are getting their car inspected absolutely not especially the Mexican people. They’re not doing it no license no insurance. I have seen some cars that I know be in the junk yard
But keep the emissions??? Give me a break. Ridiculous.
People have check engine lights on and ride around with expired plates. People dont have money to fix the problem.
mr.abdul is sad his money scheme is coming to an end 😂😂
I like to know which interest group give financial funding to Governor Abbott.
What a stupid bill getting rid of safety inspection and keeping the stupid emissions test.
It would be a good compromise to only have to do all emission, registration ect every 5 years instea dof annual, annual regustration ia very stupid MD allows to register for 10 years and VA for 3 and FL 2 , its should be 5 years to register?
Question? can the police still pull you over for any infraction? (headlight out)
GET RID OF THE STUPID GLOBAL WARMING EMISSIONS TESTS
TOO BRUH...🤣🤣🤣
WITH ALL OF THE LATEST HI-TECH GADGETS TODAY'S CARS AND TRUCKS
COME WITH...THEY PRACTICALLY INSPECT THEMSELVES BRUH..😁😁😁.
The "mechanics" doing these inspections are incompetent anyways. I brought a 72 plymouth in and they failed it for the ABS not operating. 😳🤔 ABS didnt exist in those cars.🙄 Took it across the street to another shop and they passed it and were just as surprised by the other shops lack of knowledge.
Wow, this is an interesting development!
Even if you drive an old clunker, better get uninsured/underinsured coverage if you don't already have it. Someone with bald tires are worn-out brakes - that's all it takes. 5.5% more fatalities might include your entire family. 🥀
These mechanics should be happy because if there are more accidents then they get to charge 3 times as much to your insurance company. And the insurance companies are not against it cause they get to raise your rates. USA!
Okay lets make a example. You get a inspection in January. It passes. Your brake light goes out on march. How does a yearly inspection do anything? Lmao. You'd notice way before.
Eric doesn't want to loose money.
If the mechanics care so much about saving lives they should do them for free. For the greater good.
Inspections are useless. These things break at any given time. The mechanics are mad because they aren’t making money.
( just tell the ugly truth, people are cheating , by moving the window shield from car to car, and this is because it has become veryyyy hard to make it in Texas, thank you GA !)
People don’t car. Have you seen how May assholes are on the road. Front Windshield tinted so dark you need high beams to see, brake lights tinted black, blacked out lenses, bald tires, driving 80 plus on the spare donut, panels falling off, fake paper tags, no license plate on the front, rear plate covered, lights that don’t work.
Law enforcement will use this as a reason to stop you for many things now. They can do roadside inspections at any time. Don’t think that diesels and late models will get passed by. No DPF on your diesel or no catalytic converter on your gas car will get you a ticket as fast as speeding will. Oh and let’s not forget how many people drive with no registration and this fake paper tags. Those paper tags go away forever in 2025, only real plates. Buy a new car, can’t drive it until your real tags come in. And no insurance. You know insurance agents report people who have insurance monthly, police license plate scanners search for license plates with no insurance just like repo tow trucks search for cars. So be responsible for your own stuff.
Oh and if you are in an emissions county, you still have to get your vehicle inspected.
What? I though he was talking about emmisions ! They really do stick it to Texans.
T
I think they should have cut the cost of the sticker from $75 to $20.
" THIS IS INSANE!"
WHO IS THE MORON WHO OFFERED THIS BILL?"
TEXAS NOW HAS : GUNS WITH NO LICENSE, NOW NO CAR INSPECTIONS, WHAT THE HE-- IS GOING ON?"
So what your saying is we are getting back some of our freedoms, as America was intended to be. You should never need a license for a basic constitutional right (since you want to bring up guns). Maybe you belong in a liberal democrat state. Their is a few of them around you could be happier in.
We keep our cars in pristine condition. No worries. Natural selection will be front and center.
Please tell Greg Abbot his common sense also got pearlized. Prepare for a whole lot of accidents, people driving with out headlights or break light at night , how about ball tires when it rain there will be alot of hydro planning. Count your day when it accurs to someone you love.
Making sure the car is safe yes agreed! But why check the ecu for codes andnif you have check engine light it wont pass thats dum
Great! But you still need to pay the phantom inspection fee and mechanics get nothing.
We don't need drivers licenses next what else is the cripple in a wheelchair got up his sleeve
Follow the money. That's all... Something going on here.
How about putting in breathalyzer so driver can start their car. 💨
They should stop inspecting aircraft. Have a nice flight.
They only care about the money the mechanics don’t care
It's a drivers responsibility to ensure their vehicles are properly taken care of
What dummy came up with this idea? It is really time to head for the hills and live there like the Darling family on the Andy Griffith Show.
Guess who’s running straight pipes now😊
It said you have to still get emissions. (Believe me, I was right there with ya!)
It won’t pass
Anything the Gregg Abbott says the DPS will follow. Take Uvalde for example.
@John Scott No I just don't like hearing about children being cage like animals and shot to death while DPS are casting lots.
@John Scott The day after those children were murdered Gregg flew down to Uvalde for a short press conference. What has he done to stop this, moving it to a mall in Allen, Texas. He has since flip flopped and said it is a mental health problem but yet he cut $200 million from the state mental health budget. Two years ago Gregg made a statement he was going to stop rape in Texas and catch all the rapist. How is doing there? I give him an F.
@@lutherbrenek2888 DPS has only about 5,000 officers for the entire state. By the time they arrived in Uvalde the shooting had been going on for an hour. The local police sat outside the school the entire time. It was only when DPS arrived that the school was entered. Do not blame DPS for townie cops...
In Virginia you must get a safety inspection even if you brought a brand new car. Of course the auto shop will be against dropping the safety inspection law because it bring revenue to their business
If you go to a chain- they always find a repair. I find going to a small shop is better.
the crooks that does inspections will cry
Crooks? technicians get paid like $5 per inspection.
@@desertsoldier41 i understand that but charged $ 55.00 dollars for a license plate bulb replacement is high i think
@@terrygriffith7907 I think paying $50,000 for my education and $20,000 for tools is high. You are paying for my experience, if you think it is high...do it yourself.
Dang ima still need to do emission inspections 😢 my race car don’t like egr or catalytic converters 😂
Good
Houston??
They'll make more money ticketing you for a bad brakelight.
Take a cell phone and inspect your own lights. Slam on your own brakes. Check your own wipers. Beep your own horn. How hard is that?
