I was told over the weekend that the California Smog Test II has been put
on indefinite "hold" for two reasons. This is the more stringent test
requiring all cars to be tested under load on a dyno.
First, something in the state congress did not pass which was to
provide funding for the program.
Second, at some eastern state, which was recently forced by the US
government to start a dyno test smog program, a woman standing behind
a truck being tested was killed when something fell off of the truck and
was shot at her by the spinning rollers. Apparently, the woman's family
is suing the state and the state is in turn suing the US government for
her death.
Does anyone know the truth behind any of this?
