I wonder why emission and safety inspections are required to register your car in Utah. Who does this ultimately benefit? Do mechanics put a lot of money in to politician's coffers? I wonder why I typically wait till the last day to get my emission test and registration. Can I blame my procrastination on undiagnosed ADHD? And if I do, does that require me to start making changes? I wonder why another customer continued to sing out loud despite the close quarters and my unfriendly looks. While I admire his confidence to enjoy his music, does he really think the rest of us wanted to be subjected to it? Can't he recognize that we are already enduring a fuzzy radio station and a woman talking loudly on her cell? I wonder why I declined to pay an extra $10 fee to complete my registration there, as I had to wait another 20 minutes at town hall. I know I can be cheap but at what point do I value my time more than my money? Sometimes owning a vehicle can be a pain.

If you were in Oregon, you could do both the emissions test and registration at one location for no additional surcharge since the DMV/DEQ runs the emission stations instead of state authorized mechanics.
If you were in BC, you would have to pay someone to do a $150 vehicle inspection AND an emmissions test, AND pay $350 for a new windshield, AND have your insurance rates increased.
On the bright side... um... er... hmmm... I'll have to get back to you on that one.
Utah Safety Inspections are a complete racket and a ripoff. Most safety inspection (and emission) programs work the same way. You can find complete information on how they rip off the public at this webpage called: "Utah Safety Inspections-The Facts They Don't Want You To Know" at:

Cars are a real hassle, particularly here in Utah. Utah is the only State in the West that still has an inspection program, which says something about this State (high taxes).
