Pumps' Perplexities

Our state governor is currently working on the
state budget for the next two years.......It is the
normal "carrot and stick" deal......He wants to
bring in more income by increasing the renewal
fee on a driver's license.......That is the "stick"....
As for the "carrot", you will only have to inspect
your vehicle once every TWO years, instead of
every year.......

I really have not minded car inspections every
year......The inspections do catch a lot of people
who are driving with bad breaks or tires......
Checking for working wipers and burnt out
signal lights also helps......Some emission tests
can go a little too far but then there are some
real "klunkers" on the road......

What really worries me is the proper
maintenance of vehicles owned by are new
"guest worker" class of people......Have you
ever seen what they will drive?......If the
vehicle has four tires and a steering wheel
it can be made mobile by repairs done on
the street but are they "road worthy"?...

For our governor to say that "these" vehicles
will now only be inspected once every TWO
years is a shame......Pumps
