I'll grant that SOME might be this stupid...
but not enough to create a money suck program to protect them.

They'll know it when the trooper pulls them over for a safety ticket
which doesn't seem to happen nearly enough from what I can see.

If you're driving a car you should absolutely know about such things without having nanny laws in place to force it.

Testing with a hose hooked up to the tailpipe with the drive wheels on spinners is a whole lot more accurate than our current “your check engine light is on so you fail” system. Then we could test older vehicles too, which are the worst offenders.
