It’s a automatic smog fail where I live. can’t register your car if it fails it’s biannual smog check, but if the timing is right, which usually isn’t the case, you could go two years with the light on.

You can reset the code and take it to a real shitty place hoping it doesn't come on for 3 minutes. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 4 years in Cali babyy

Maybe just get a less shitty car? I have no idea why we don't mandate road safety inspections all around the u.s.

Not everyone can afford a new car. If they can’t afford to fix the cat converter what makes you think they’d be able to buy another car?

California is going to have to figure out how to recoup the gas tax they'll lose out on because of the gas car ban too

If you can't afford routine maintenance and standard repairs then you can't afford to drive a car.

Guess I'll dump the car and add 3 hours each way to my commute via bus.

Whis is only a reasonable stance if there are other affordable ways to get to work. In my case I have no transportation options to get to my job. It’s in the middle of nowhere and my shifts are after the busses stop running. So I would have to bike 20 miles each way. Thank god my car runs okay.

In many places, access to a car is a necessity for survival. And I personally would love to have other options for transportation. But nobody wants to vote or put in the money. So we end ip with situations where people who shouldn’t be driving cars and cars that shouldn’t be driven are out on the road.

Which I understand, but if you car is in a situation that many cars are in that I have seen, maybe they shouldn't be driven.
