A Smog Check at the DMV in Manhattan Beach Caused Issues For More Than a Half-Hour

Residents in the area that is known as "Little Switzerland" are very familiar with the smell of car exhaust that originates from all over the Vehicle Registration Smog Check Torrance CA. This smog problem in the area has put some of Manhattan Beach's official government buildings in jeopardy.

The DMV has placed smog checks on a few of its trucks and cars in the area, including their parking lot in Manhattan Beach. This isn't the first time they have done this.

In January of 2020, the DMV placed a "smog check" on all cars and trucks as well as their employees, which were in effect until just a day after tax time. It has been rumored that this was done because of concerns about what would happen if an accident occurred with one of their vehicles or a potential violation of the law occurred by one of their employees. The DMV claims it is not in place to interfere with anybody's business.

Cars and trucks in the area were also checked in August of 2020. This was done again in December of that year. The locations were again kept confidential in case there were any further violations in that area.

A half-mile radius around the Manhattan Beach area is being inspected. If they come up with an odor, they will call the local police for you to look at the vehicle or the truck. After they get the permission to inspect the vehicle or truck, they will give you a tag number, description, and where to find it so that you can inspect the vehicle yourself.

It is in your best interest to call the police before you drive any of these trucks around. These violations could mean you are going to be getting tickets or worse, which could mean a hefty fine and even points on your driving record.

It is hard to believe that there isn't enough waste management at the Oceanic Towers. There have been questions on social media about whether or not they are complying with the law by putting the smog check and inspection stickers on their vehicles. The Oceanic Tower officials have been quoted saying they were not aware of the law when they put those stickers on their vehicles.

However, it appears the new chief of the DMV has been made aware of the law and now wants to make sure all DMV inspectors and inspection stations are following the law. The traffic flow in and out of the neighborhood has slowed dramatically due to these inspections only taking a half-hour or so.

If you live in the area and are involved in a smog check, you should probably avoid driving to and from work while the inspection is happening. I would recommend calling someone on your way home to check your vehicle or truck out before you do anything else.

There is no way to tell if the new chief of the DMV will be able to remedy the issues that exist in the Oceanic Tower and other surrounding areas of the greater Los Angeles area. Until we hear what the new DMV chief says, it would be prudent to avoid being a victim to these violations.

This is a common occurrence in the Los Angeles area and other parts of the state for people to be pulled over for a smog check or inspections. It does appear that the fines are not worth the fines when people have no idea what they are being stopped for.

It will be interesting to see how the Vehicle Registration Smog Check Torrance CA this situation at the Oceanic Tower and other DMV inspection stations in the greater Los Angeles area. We will continue to follow this story as it unfolds.
