๐๐ CLASSIC CAR OWNERS: BIG NEWS IN CALIFORNIA! ๐๐
If you own a classic Camaro, lowrider, vintage Mercedes, old pickup, or another collector vehicle, a new California law could change your smog-check requirements.
๐ โJay Lenoโs Lawโ โ Senate Bill 1392 โ creates a phased-in smog-check exemption for qualifying collector vehicles from the 1976โ1985 model years, beginning January 1, 2028.
โ ๏ธ But thereโs an important distinction: A smog exemption is NOT a safety exemption.
Brakes, tires, steering, suspension, lights, and other safety equipment still need to be properly maintained. If a mechanical problem contributes to a crash, maintenance and liability can become important issues in a personal injury claim.
๐จโโ๏ธ Attorney James Johnson says:
โThese cars are pieces of history, but when they share the road with modern vehicles, safety has to come first. Enjoy them, maintain them, and drive responsibly.โ
