Steve from SoCal Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 The rule that went into effect this year is not specific as to what or whom it applies to other than diesel vehicles with a GVW greater than 14K The people in California are used to ALL trucks from 1/2 tons up being registered as commercial vehicles That is a unique California thing from long ago. With that as background, are all trucks in California are subject to this rule? The RV carveout expired in 2022 as well, are ALL diesel vehicles not registered as passenger vehicles on the ban list? The 1000 mile low use permit may be an option, how do you apply or obtain a permit? Is that only an option for vehicles that reside in the state? I need to go to the L.A. area in the next few weeks?

If you are illegally licensed in your domicile state, you can travel anywhere in America legally! What a CONCEPT huh? NOW.....even though our trucks may look like COMMERCIAL vehicles, they are NOT! Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) DOT rules DO NOT APPLY. NOW, if you want your big ol' truck to be a CMV, you are free to do that, but as long as you are licensed as a RECREATIONAL VEHICLE (RV) you are exempt from the CMV rules and regulations. This isn't hard to understand folks!!!! GO RVing, be HAPPY! Don't worry! Well thank you for clearing that up Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve from SoCal Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 I hate to say this as a native Californian but, common sense left the state years ago.

Steve My brother escaped with his Bride to CO, He is Conservative, she a Liberal but they get along by not talking politics. When Newsum and his State House cronies tried to tax their retirements even as lived out of state she had a conniption fit, strange as she had adored Gavin prior. She still votes D, Brother still R so offset each others votes. He is mid 70s now, goes trout fishing A LOT and without her, She is always busy with her Grandchildren. Her daughter is from a earlier marriage. Now Gavin is back at it going to try a different approach to tax their State Pensions sent to CO. I was born Burbank Hospital, no intention to go back to see from where I Came. I trucked into CA in mid 70s and again early 80s, no reasons to return. Definition of insanity, doing same thing over and over the same way expecting different outcome. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This video is miss leading. He is telling you that you have to be tested no matter where the vehicle is registered in the US, but what he has highlighted it says, "No matter where it is registered in "CALIFORNIA". I believe it was at the 4:14 mark in the video. For me it's not going to matter because I live in Calif. and I'll have to have mine tested even though I live in a county that does not require testing for my other cars.

ddm502001 Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 It also states no matter what state is registered in later in the vid. Random Screening can end with fines by CA against out of state registrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsinc Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 On 1/15/2023 at 11:08 PM, Chad Heiser said: they always take my money and send me new stickers That is the Cali way. I sure strikes me in a bad way when the CA DMV continues to collect sales tax on all used vehicle sales when their own sales tax guidelines are about taxes being collected when a product has had "value added" to it, as in buy a product wholesale and then when value is added, tax is collected and paid to the State or County. How is DMV adding value to used vehicles each time they are sold. They collect it when the vehicle is new and the collect more each time the same vehicle is transfered, but in order to complete the registration process, additional tax must be paid. That is then the beginning of the journey of vehicle taxes. The yearly registration costs are ridiculous as well as the fuel taxes. Cali pays some of the highest yet we all know that it has some of the worst roads esp freeways in the country. This has to change but will likely not.

Steve from SoCal Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 The video is as mention talking about California registered vehices. The gray area of out of state RV's is still not clear but, there does seem to be some exemption. Regarding the ag inspection, California is one the largest growers and it is a multi-billion dollar industry. Protecting the industry from alien pest is just good policy. The bark beatle that is devistating the west is an Asian pest that came to the US via wood shipping materials. While a lot of folks laugh at the ' fruit cops' it is a real problem. As far as roadside inspections, these are not new in California. I remember in the early 1970's getting run through smog inspections around L.A. The air has become much better in the last 50 years inspite of a massive amount of growth in the state. I understand the quest to minimize emissions, the issue I have is the natural life cycle of vehicles in California is very long. Most out of state vehicles have much shorter life spans. The commercial truck ban on older trucks is one thing, personal vehicles are quite different. The state has some physical features and weather patterns that have been a significant part of the problem, even in the early days the local tribes noted how smoke was trapped under inversion layers. The things like no gas lawn mowers seem crazy BUT, small engines are very inefficient. I have electric chain saws that are great just pull the lever. I am not against the state mandating rules that improve the quality of life, I think a velvet glove is better than an iron fist to implement the rules. The way CARB operates with an iron fist is wrong IMHO.

Typically, you're often given a period of time to correct it in order to reduce significantly the total fine amount. This is mostly based on experience traveling through NJ, plus following industry news sources. Of course, CA has its own way of doing things.
