Apparently far better than Louisiana, we did away with those nonsense stickers a while back.

Not sure where you’re located but there’s a place in Gonzales that was open and doing inspections Friday. I know they weren’t open at least several different days over the past couple weeks because I noticed them being closed as I passed by. But they were definitely open Friday doing inspections and had a line of 15-20 cars.

I don’t remember the name of the place but they’re across airline from Walmart, next door to Ichiban

Do you mean brake tags?


No he doesn't you ignoramus, do you put/tag them on your brakes?

I was being sarcastic, you dumbass.

By the way, stupid or not, they are still called brake tags in New Orleans because the main thing that was checked/inspected on cars years ago used to be the brakes. It has nothing to do with where the sticker/tag is placed on the vehicle.

I remember shortly after I got me permit, my mom had me take the Delta 88 up to the Shell station to get a brake tag.

Pulled into the bay, put it in park, hit the brake pedal, turned on the headlights, put them on bright and that was it

They were telling you a story. They can get stickers. I know one that isn't doing them unless they are working on your car. They don't want to be in people's faces when changing out stickers. I also know the DMV in one area is opened for certain businesses 2 days a week. Just not to the pubic.

Go to one of those discount zones on the westbank. They usually do them there.

fyi

In 1924, the City of New Orleans became the first city in the country to require an annual brake test. Originally, a metal tag was added to the front grill of the vehicle to indicate the brakes were functioning. Over the years, windshield stickers replaced metal tags and other parts of the vehicle were required to be inspected. Despite these changes, the name “brake tag” has always been used in and around the city of New Orleans in place of “inspection sticker”.

Nobody in Acadiana calls them brake tags. That’s a NOLA thing.

Never heard them called brake tags in LA and I have been here for 38 yrs... until today.

...makes sense though because they dont even look at your brakes.

They're brake tags.
Always were. Always will be.
It's a NOLA thing. I never heard it called anything but a brake tag til I moved away.
