Miss Ruby Tuesday-The Dreaded Required Drive Cycle

The required Smog test is no longer about emissions- it is now about the sensors in your car - & if for any reason you disconnect the battery, buy a new one, clean the terminals or get a tune up - prior to the smog test- you will be required to do the 'Drive Cycle" - which is a dangerous drive for the average driver-- senior driver, disabled driver or any driver who doesn't drive on the freeway. - The required Drive Cycle entails putting 200-300 miles on your car (avg) & opens the door to a new side hustle- "Drive Cycle Driver" - it also increases the cost of that required smog test- $60 IM Rediness Meter, $100-150 (gas) $25-50 additional driver on your insurance- $50 for the "Drive Cycle Driver" $60 for the smog tester who uses the SAME IM Rediness Meter-& just prints out the 'Pass" paper to submit to DMV. Bottomline: the required Drive Cycle adds significant more cost to the required registeration of your car. $$$$$$$$ #DriveCycle #SmogTest #Registration http://www.missrubytuesday.com http://www.twitter.com/msrubytuesday http://www.akamissrubytuesday.blogspot.com
