If so, we're still trooping off annually to ensure compliance with smog, it's just the bald tires/turn signals/horn/etc that'll be dropped.

Since there is no smog test in rural counties, I would say it all goes away. And I have never had my tires checked, or horn for that matter. Like others said, it's basically drive in, turn on lights, pay, go on your way. Waste of time and money.

I really wished all 4 wheelers had to go thru the same requirements as CMV's. Pulled over to check the vehicle and/or log book, no PC required. And the weigh stations where they could go into and check everything out. Especially those with a pit where they can easily look them over top to bottom and write tickets for oil leaks, brakes, over loaded, driving beyond the hours of service, etc. CMV's can literally be placed out of service for anything yet we see complete piles driving past us everyday and never get stopped by LEO.
