DRIVER ALERT * USA - CAL issues $800 fines for missing engine stickers
The DOT was set up on the grass alongside four lanes of California’s Interstate 805 on Jan. 17
CAL,USA -Land Line Magazine, by Charlie Morasch -February 14, 2008: -- ... Since January 2007, CARB enforcement officers have issued 1,465 citations with $800 fines after inspecting 5,050 trucks for worn or missing Emission Compliance labels or engine data plates. Truck owners were given 45 days to obtain a new label, and the entire fine was dropped... 
Beginning on Friday, Feb, 15, however, missing emission labels will require at least a $300 fine, even if truck owners replace the labels within 45 days... Joseph Gomes, an OOIDA member from Norfolk,VA, isn’t likely to be making many return trips to California anytime soon... A tightening trucking economy and the increased emission rules make it unlikely he’ll make many stops in the Golden State... “I don’t think I will be going that way again anyway,” Gomes said. “The rates are too cheap to come back”...
