Yes, you are correct about it's goals. However, not everyone does have to play ball. Cars built prior to 1975 are exempt as are motorcycles from emissions testing.

Now new cars don't even need to be emissions tested as long as a fee is paid. So now there is just a group 1975 to 2007 that have to get tested every year.

There is a better system. I'm just trying to figure what it is.
