As someone in the auto business, I’m on the fence about them. Failing a vehicle for a check engine/emission light is just stupid. THAT is a joke and should be removed to get a sticker. Im saying that knowing it will take away business from me.
On the other hand, I think people here don’t understand how unsafe a lot of cars on the road are. Too many people are careless or just plain lazy taking care of 70 MPH 1/2 ton death machines they live out of a majority of their life.
BALD tires, no wiper blades, no head or tail lights, no brakes. Too many examples I could give of cars that DO NOT need to be on the road. That would be my focus for stickers but the punishment would be harsher if your shite is unsafe for the roads.

Those cars will still be on the road with or without inspection stickers

I have never had anyone look at the tires, horn, much less ask about windshield wipers. If all the lights and blinkers worked you were good to go. I’d be more worried about the amount of people driving around without a drivers license or proper insurance.

Inspection stickers have zero to do with muh safety.
Posted on 3/7/24 at 9:50 pm to gizmothepug
All that stuff is supposed to be checked when getting a sticker. Lazy people checking.
Drivers license and insurance I agree from a monetary sense.
My point is people recklessly driving cars that can kill people. I’m more worried about that but I understand your point.

Texas is slow as frick on everything. Oklahoma hasn't had vehicle inspections since 2001.
Let me know when Texas doesn't require tagging trailers as long as they aren't commercial. I have 2 trailers and a boat trailer I don't ever have to do a damn thing to.
Louisiana might have crawdads and Texas might have HEB but Oklahoma has freedom.

The last time that bill was presented a legislator argued it was a bad idea because local shops rely on the revenue.
No the last time it came up was last year I believe and the legislator tried raising registration fees to offset the funding from the MVI that goes towards the dept. of public safety (DOC, LSP, Fire Marshal etc) but didn’t do his research to know that the registration fees are set in law so that also had to be changed. Killed the bill right there.

citizens should not be required to pay for inspections purely to keep those businesses afloat
Id be willing to drive by and hand them $30 to stay in business if it meant not having to undergo an inspection.

Anecdotally, drove to Birmingham recently and we were astonished at how many broken down cars there were along the Alabama route, as noted from Waze announcing it every 60 seconds, and sure enough I just looked and Bama doesn’t require annual auto inspections.

All you need to know is that govt vehicles (city, parish, state) aren’t required to have them.
It’s all about revenue and taking revenue from the govt to pay the govt doesn’t make sense.

Cops need to do their job and cite people for those violations, not force the majority to go pay 20 bucks for an inspection sticker that is in reality just another tax.

Shop pays $ 10 per sticker.

It was a long time ago in my younger days but yes...it happened.
It also gives them an easy excuse to stop you and look for other things.

Oklahoma also has more miles of shoreline than any other state in the Union.

For the most part, the cost is divided three ways: $4.75 to the station performing the inspection; $4 goes to Louisiana State Police; and $1.25 goes to the Office of Motor Vehicles. The extra $8 cost in the five parishes goes to the emission testing. The revenue is used to fund the operating budget of each agency.
That revenue adds up. Louisiana State Police's portion of one year stickers and CVI stickers is about $3.5 million. LSP's portion of two-year stickers is about $8.75 million. The OMV's portion of CVI and one-year stickers is about $1.2 million and its portion of two-year stickers is about $2.7 million.
Money my friend...they won't get rid of it.

This right here. People claim safety reasons all they want but its all about money. If you fail an inspection you simply DRIVE the vehicle away to the next place or none at all. The idiots with no insurance and fake temporary plates arent worried about inspection stickers anyway.
Just charge me a yearly $20 tax and be done with it. Thats what it amounts to anyway.
