Comment | This proposed regulation is so "over the top" it defies belief! How would you enforce it? How would we ARDs get a disgruntled consumer to sign an affirmation that they checked their tires or will check them? Do you care at all that you are exposing we ARDs (the people who always DO add air to the tires and safety check them, usually for free) to massive liability from greedy tort legal actions? The repair order documentation at our shop requires a full time front office staff of three skilled and necessarily very literate people to support the auto repair work of four technicians. We have to budget these costs compete in a market economy based on bottom-line PRICE to the consumer. The economy in California is in a shambles and businesses like ours are shutting their doors every day. More radical and minimally effective environmental regulation is NOT what is needed! Properly tire inflation is a worthy cause, which could be best served by a massive consumer education campaign by government,aimed at SAFETY and FULL SAVINGS, not "Air Quality"! The consumer is much more interested in conserving their own limited resources rather than some idealistic State goal and will respond better when approached from that aspect. |
