OPPOSE: I oppose the proposal to increase the duration of Virginia's safety inspection beyond 12 months. There are plenty of people driving around with dead brake lights (sometimes all of them) even with a duration of 12 months, and it stands to reason that if you double the length of inspection validity, you will double the number of vehicles on the road with defective equipment.

I strongly OPPOSE HB1047. Annual vehicle inspections can and do save lives and are a small inconvenience to ensure your car (and those around you) are safe for the road. This affected me personally. A few years ago, my previous car failed inspection because the tube that carries brake fluid had a bulge in it. Apparently, that bulge could've burst at any time and I would've lost all brake pressure immediately. There was no way for me to know I had this bulge in the tube until it burst. So the inspection quite likely saved my life because I never would've known until it was too late that the brake tube was nearly nonfunctional. Thank you for your time. This is a top priority for me.

I support this bill as the vehicle inspection process in the Commonwealth is broken. It requires way too much time to find a shop that can do it without an hours-long wait because they can't accept appointments. Capping what they can charge makes it the lowest priority service for them. Additionally, studies show the inspections provide no impact on vehicle safety, reduction in accidents, etc. The whole system needs reform or abolishment, but HB1047 is a good first start.
