Do you have a problem submitting to authority or is there a particular policy that you take issue with?
If so, are contributing to correct this injustice? Anarchy doesn't work very well, long term.

it's easy to make a blanket statement
If I were to provide my opinion it would be a really long diatribe that cites all the bullshit the US government has done to keep its global hegemony afloat whilst stamping on the rights of Americans as the politicians fill their greedy pockets with the hard earned money of the average person whilst trying to impose their agenda on the people, right or left they both hate the American citizen whilst using the media machine to paint them as better than they actually are, this isn't a right versus left issue nor a safety issue, any sort of government program is an attack on your rights, on my rights, on the people's rights to property and their money. any government owned enterprise isn't for the people, its for profit. a greater outcome would be the balkanization of the USA and Texas becoming its own free country as it ought to be.
The government should ONLY be for defense and protection of borders, not for taking peoples money and telling them what they can and cannot own or buy or sell. and this idea that the US is a democratic nation is also a farce due to the fact that votes in national elections dont really represent the people as a whole and for the fact that democracy itself as the US has it is basically a 1 party system, the Democrats and Republicans work for the same team and some of yall are too blinded by nostalgia, ignorance, or just willful dismissal of the facts.
that's the short version.
the TLDR in one picture.
Since we're standing outside while we're having our discussion, be happy to!
Welcome to my ignore list....you're the 2nd one to make it on it.
Since emission tests were designed to improve air quality around the major metropolitan areas, logic would dictate EVs wouldn’t be subject to those tests. (But then again, logic flew out the window a couple years ago).

hybrids might be subject to emissions testing but i suspect they would be very low emmisioif any at all!Since emission tests were designed to improve air quality around the major metropolitan areas, logic would dictate EVs wouldn’t be subject to those tests.

From an article..
"However, some vehicles are exempt from emissions testing. Only gasoline-powered vehicles are required to undergo the annual test, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. Diesel-powered vehicles and motorcycles are exempt from emissions testing.
Gasoline vehicles between the ages of two and 24 years old, or upon the expiration of a vehicle’s initial two-year inspection sticker, must have an emissions test."
I never thought about 18 wheelers.
Does this mean that they will no longer have be inspected?

My posts don't count....
Nothing in the law states that police can't stop a vehicle they observe in an unsafe condition. It just means owners aren't required spend their time and effort to prove their innocence.....very pro-5th A.....
I have to say we are thrilled about this. One more sticker next year on some of our vehicles and done. We have two cars and one bike with antique plates (and the wife’s 99 Miata will join that group next year) so as long as I can get through 2024 no more dealing with that annoying procedure. Since we have lived in Kendall County (27 years), one inspection found a center brake light bulb that needed replacement. That’s it, and we had well over 100 inspections in that time.

I haven’t seen a “brake test” on any of my motorcycles in years. For the truck and wife’s car, the last couple of years it’s lights, wiper blades, and tire tread as well as proof of insurance.
It takes more time to do the paperwork than the actual inspection.
