I hope this never happens in the USA

We have just a CEL test here in NH. If you dont have a code stored that throws a CEL, you will pass the test. And that is ONLY on 96 or newer cars.

In NJ, '95 and older is only a visual cat check, and sniffer test.
96+ is no CEL, no pending emissions codes, and visual cat check.

saw a hearing a few years ago when a senator wanted to ban all cars 25 years old and when asked about guys who have older cars they take to car shows and cruiseins he said they can use a trailer

can you believe that?! in nicholasville kentucky, they have this law that if your car runs, you dont have to do an emission test. crazy! :p

but srsly, some places will take a long time to change. i doubt the entire US will get affected all at once if something like that did happen

I doubt SEMA would let this happen

If Michigan were not - by happenstance - the auto manufacturing capital of the US, it would be at the forefront of the movement towards automotive obsolescence, because this state is stupid-lib-green by every other inclination.

Never happen, not in France, and not here. France would provide subsidies for people to buy newer cars? WITH WHAT? Last I checked Europe is broke.

This is just some politician exercising his right to be an incompetent tool.
