Fog Blog N.B. Log: Vehicle Inspections Going To Every 2 Years!:

NEW BRUNSWICK IS JOINING NOVA SCOTIA .....AS OF THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH......YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE YOUR CAR INSPECTED WHEN ITS DUE......THEN THE STICKER ON YOUR WINDOW WILL BE GOOD FOR 2 YEARS! .......New Brunswick is joining Nova Scotia in eliminating annual motor vehicle inspections.The proposed changes to the Motor Vehicle Act will require inspections only every other year.It costs $35 for drivers to get their vehicle inspected each year, that is, if there isn't anything wrong with their car.But the New Brunswick government is looking to change that in January 2020. Starting then, New Brunswickers will only have to get their vehicles inspected once every two years at a cost of $45, which will mean a savings of $25."I think it's a good idea, especially on newer vehicles," said one Fredericton resident. "I don't think we should have to do them every year. I think every two years is good."But not everyone agrees. Some say it's not about the money -- it's about the safety of the vehicles on the road."A lot of vehicles come through here, and a lot of them shouldn't even be on the road to start with," said Joe Hickey, the owner/operator of Devon Auto Repair. "They do need a lot of work and stuff, so I'm just thinking, after two years? The car's going to be way worse than that."
