This week I was having trouble thinking of what to write about. Though I remembered I hadn’t actually written anything about Smog and Emissions Tests that are required in some states and not in others. One good thing that comes out of an Emissions test is that the state knows which cars, for those newer than a certain date, are properly taken care of and which ones are not. In order to get liscence tabs for your car, in states that do require the tests, cars must go through an emissions test. Although, as stated before some states do not require all of their cars to go through emissions tests. Some of the states that do not require tests are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. This information was found on the DMV main website at: http://www.dmv.org/smog-check.php . When you click on the states that do not require emissions tests, their main reason is that they do not feel that there is enough bad emissions being let out into the atmosphere. Not everyone takes care of their car the way it should be, which can cause bad emissions to get emitted into the atmosphere.
