I can't imagine this being a good thing. A past article quoted somebody as basically saying people would be trusted to use their best judgment to keep their vehicles in a safe operating condition.

This doesn't even help low-income folks because the fee isn't going away, the name is just changing.

Oof, I mean I've seen some real beaters driving around here. Someone's gonna get killed because of this. I can't see how this is a good thing. Like inspections were $7 once a year. Not really an inconvenience.
