Plates are painted with reflective material which makes it easier for a cop on the side of the road with radar to check your speed. The plate is what they aim for.
Stupidest law vehicle law ever. Not everyone can afford a vehicle in that good condition. Just because the check engine light is on, doesn't mean the vehicle is gonna die. Sometimes it's the age. Not everyone has that kind of money. To me that was made to control you and empty your bank account.
@@DCSk8er529 no it’s not, I can understand the check engine light issue, which should be on the customer to fix when he can. But as far as safety, that does concern me, many people have non working horns, bad tires, lights out, seatbelts that do not work, missing lug nuts. But hey, I keep my car up to date as best as I can. Treat her right, she’ll treat you right.
@enlighten2seven605 Bad tires, lights not working, lugnuts, non working horn, I get that part. It should be strictly for those parts. The check engine light part is ridiculous.
Thank you Abbott that cop saying like if they don’t already ticket for everything. Nothing changes just saves time from having to go get a useless inspection
Thank you Abbott !!!!! Came from Florida were non of this madness exist and here isn’t making roads safer at all! All the contrary Also it’s been favoring many scammers making us pay the money we don’t have in unnecessary repairs all expensive !!! So fck those businesses taking advantage of everyone’s pocket I couldn’t be happier
Yeah, Abbott is a peach. :( How many did he let die in trailers from heat. Lost the produce industry coming thru Texas and now go thru New Mexico. He a corrupt guy and needs to go.
Listen to what he said they check 1:16 he said nothing about the check engine light but without checking anything if you have a check engine light on you automatically fail. Yall brought this on yourselves. Being shady looking for any reason to fail some one. A gas cap loose really fail.
@@Augie..in an emission and safety county yes, you do fail for a check engine light. In a county where a Safety only inspection is required, you’re check engine light can be on but will still pass.
@@1SourceSignsI bet you drive a dodge or a jeep. If you look at the inside of your gas cap, you have a rubber gasket on the inside, it’s wear and tear. Don’t cry just buy a cheap $20 one and you’ll pass.
No, it means more money in our pockets, where it belongs. Inspection stations are notorious for charging for adjusting headlights that don't need adjusting to charge you for unnecessary fees.
@@nitromartini1422 I prefer knowing other cars on the road have working brakes and brake lights. Stuff like that. Guess you're a twit that does not care.
So let me get this straight, they want us to pay and they are not going to do s&*t?....pay for safety check without actually checking if car safe....wdf do I have to pay than...
You're not paying for a safety check in 2025. Only emissions fee of $7.50. Also, the safety check is very simplistic to begin with. You could, literally, do all the checks yourself and you should be doing it yourself throughout the year. They don't even lift the car to do a visual inspection under the vehicle, if they're lube shops. An automotive store-chain will generally do a multipoint inspection for free (with a service like an oil change or tire repair; maybe less), because it's in their best interest.
You all see that the state is still taking your $7.50? You're not blind, right? They're also training officers to write more citations for the items on the inspection detail. This is a good idea? Okay, if you're sure.
In Texas that missing front Texas plate gives the cops a reason to pull you over. It would be cheaper to make one plate that stays with the driver tho.
Y’all don’t even know this is bad 😂 more liability’s on the road. Move to California & live there and you’ll see. Bunch of dumb stuff happens on the road.
Thank God ❤, I’m so proud to be from Texas……. We have the greatest governor on the planet……..Helping poor families that cannot afford expensive mechanical repairs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You know some places don't go that far to expect your car it's pretty much your lights horn and your brakes That's it sometimes they don't even check on my stuff lol
A good transportation Bill to write U.S. Congress is a mandate to eliminate steering wheel airbags and passenger dashboard airbags. The unnecessarily scratch and injure people on small collisions. Large collisions its difficult to say if they even work that much. They will also block the view of the driver on lighter collisions. The seat belt should be good enough. Also a mandate at the automobile and commercial vehicle manufacturing plant, to install motion sensors on the front end of all motor vehicles. Some semi-trucks already have them installed. The sensor disengages the accelerator of the vehicle approaching another vehicle in the same lane at 20 to 30 yards. A Better distance to set it at is around 40 to 50 yards. This spreads out the traffic flow, eliminates tailgating and will reduce many wrecks.
Its another way the state takes more money away from the shops the did the inspections. So no more inspections, but you will still have to pay that fee, but to the state now. They cut the inspection fees many years ago. Used to be 14.00 to inspection stations, but then changed to 7.00 to state, and 7.00 to station. Now there will be unsafe vehicles on the roads of texas.
My mind is blown the state telling you what you can and can’t drive?!!! I live in Michigan you drive whatever you want hear nobody is out hear swerving off the road cause there car only has 3 tires wow that looks irritating as hell
"it can" is not fact, if all shops measured the same, we wouldn't be in this predicament; the issue was to allow citizens to be "responsible" for their vehicles and not the state through 3rd party inspection shops that had a monopoly due to control in Austin.
That's a win for people who don't have the money to pay for Auto Inspection Fees. Its sad for the Mechanic making a living but, its one less thing to worry about. Especially, with Auto Insurance going up and gas prices increase. 😄😄😄🚘👍👍
We don't have vehicle inspections or emissions inspections in Florida. Florida is also the birthplace of ranching in the United States. TEXAS SHOULD QUIT COPYING FLORIDA. 😊😊😊 #Freedom
Please inspect the tires and brakes. Too many uninsured drivers too. They will slam into your rear and not be forced to reimburse you. Abbott doesn't have this to worry about.
Thank God I'm good with cars I'm not gonna have no problem with that and my family... At less they drop the amount price on that bcuz everything else is expensive....
@@chriswinslet6696 what you mean kinda confusing me... $7.50 for renew that good to me they don't have to check my car and inspect my car bcuz I'm good at that I work doing mechanic work.. sometime I had the check engine when I didn't knew mechanic and had to pay up too $100 or more... Now that drop down to $7.50 just to renew Mayne I ain't wasting a lot of money now but for other people I feel bad for them
@@chriswinslet6696 The $7.50 is a fee for checking if your emission compliant. To be honest, if you're relying on a state inspection to make sure your vehicle is safe...then you're doing it wrong. You could easily do most of these test yourself. Checking your lights and oil should at least be done once a week (or every other week). Also, I have never ever seen a state inspection lift my car up to make sure everything is fine and they're not going to visually check your brake properly (which can require taking tires off). That's something you have to request from the shop.
I don't think you understand. They're stealing $7.50. I don't live in an emissions testing county. They aren't giving me a service for that $7.50 if there is no safety inspection. They better just keep it in place.
Less money for just as much work😂 he admitted they weren’t doing shit really as far as inspections go except costing us money. The time consuming part is the admin work.
The only stupid one is you, go move to commifornia if you're not happy. Yea cause one 10 min trip makes all the difference in the world. You need to learn to think for yourself and be more responsible for upkeeping your own property
That guy just said they are doing the same work for LESS, which means we have been paying for nothing. Getting ripped off essentially.
Cutting down on legalized theft....now how about property tax!
He did that
Need to get rid of front plate requirement.
That's not on the state inspection report. You don't require license plates for that.
@@chriswinslet6696 I know it's not, I just don't want front plates in Texas.

Good decision from Abbott, it should be lefter to the owner of the vehicle. We know how to keep our vehicle up to par.
the government should be cited for not wearing duct tape over there mounths
Meaning to empty more off our pockets
No, it means more money in our pockets, where it belongs. Inspection stations are notorious for charging for adjusting headlights that don't need adjusting to charge you for unnecessary fees.

Emissions test for older vehicles = PITA ! $$$
Catalytic converters are EXPENSIVE !
In Tarrant county you'll still have to do the emissions test just the safety check is being eliminated .
She said counties, then named cities!!!??? Houston, Austin, and El Paso, etc are all cities!
There are many inconsistent bits of info here. He also shows a certified inspector doing an inspection wrong.
Yea, people don’t know the difference between a country and a continent either.

Yep, it was never about safety, just the $$.
I dont have a front plate never had 1
That has nothing to do with a safety inspection. It's a bit off topic. I agree that we shouldn't need them.
In Texas that missing front Texas plate gives the cops a reason to pull you over.

Thank you Abbot!! 🙏🏼
The Mechanic is checking Insurance? 1:32
Inspections don’t make us safer, common sense of the person makes the vehicle run better , nobody like an engine light ON .
Do she mean the city of Houston or only Houston in Harris county will still be required?
Harris county will be required to still get their yearly Emissions only inspection next year.

I been riding the on the same inspection sticker since 2021 so thank God for this change, won't he do it
Thanks abbot
it s happen cuz there are a lot places that charge up to $140 if your car doesn't pass the inspection
That’s good news. I hope pa follows suit
How can they go against a law, that’s crazy and still make required
are government vehicles enclued

By the way most accidents are cause by distraction, alcohol, police chasing, than the vehicle itself.
Kansas did away with the state inspection in the 80's..... they seem to manage just fine

They going to raise plate sticker watch just like my house tax and my pay check tax
That is exactly what they are going to do, no doubt. Already heard when i got my registration sticker this year.
"it can" is not fact, if all shops measured the same, we wouldn't be in this predicament; the issue was to allow citizens to be "responsible" for their vehicles and not the state through 3rd party inspection shops that had a monopoly due to control in Austin.
registration is about to be unconstitutional.
