I'm not sure if you guys can't grasp that you are paying for inspections. Its like saying you go to public school for free.

Safety inspection was done away with to save state money that you, the taxpayer, give them. Why would they do away with re-inspections?
I wish I could dig up more info on the costs of re-inspections, tail pipe testing equipment, and hard numbers on the vehicles that face these.

That makes sense. Actually it doesn't make sense but it makes sense for NJ

Its because you are over 8500gvwr yet the exact same equipment can be found in a "lighter"platform and not need a tail pipe test. I guess hauling race cars is detrimental to emissions equipment
