Hi all. We are Canadian. We own property in the Palm Springs area and live in the US about 4 months of the year. We always hear about the tight standards for vehicle emissions in California and we see the various "smog check" signs on various garages etc. We are confused on whether these are just old signs or whether any of these rules are still in place. Maybe left over from a previous government etc? On a daily basis we see old cars and trucks belching smoke, running on three cylinders, diesels that are obviously chipped to the max, older Mercedes cars that smell horrible, city vehicles belching smoke. Is it just a compliance problem or are these type of vehicles just not covered under any existing laws. We haven't seen any coal rollers but we got choked out by a gardeners truck today.
Not complaining, we are guests in your country, just trying to figure out the California situation.
