@@TheNewChevyRoll48 Correct, it only affects the sale of new cars, the Antique/Vintage law is still something else entirely...unless of course htey try to overthrow that as well. We'll see.
solution: buy a petrol/diesel powered car from the 2000s and early 2010s (my preference would be a miata from that era), wait till the 2030s-2040s when this ev shit starts and then theyll have to still allow you to drive on the road cuz of the antique law.
Eh, you're not too far fetched. I mean, they're already shoving these dumb ev crossovers down our throats as we speak. Remember the Ford mach e and the Nissan I don't care?
Speaking of the EV apocalypse, the 24 hours of Le Mans used TotalEnergies' synthetic/e-fuels as a testing ground for carbon-capture synthetic fuels and the best part is that it works perfectly. With Germany refusing to agree to the EV takeover due to these fuels as well as soon France and Italy, we have hope that engines will never die. Let's hope it's the case instead of EVs
I will drive a Hybrid. I will drive a Hydrogen Car. I will drive an Algae Powered Car, I'll even drive a Solar Powered Car. It's not that I hate EVs, its that they aren't a secret "silver bullet" to fixing Environments like America thinks they are...The lack of alternatives frightens me, but it seems the others are getting push lately too.
@@BladedAngel that's my point. The synthetic fuels being the best alternative. If all we have to do is build a certain amount of facilities that use carbon-capture technology, which takes both hydrogen and CO2 from burned fuel, which gets recompressed and refined into a perfect clone of the fuel we already burned, then that's more green than an EV. Making batteries for EVs requires burning millions and millions of gallons of fuel for just a few thousand of them. E-fuels are a true recycle system with gasoline and diesel and you can use it on any car at any age already proven at Le Mans this year. I'm just saying, this might actually be the, "Silver Bullet," we're all looking for. If we can't use crude oil anymore, then at least find something that we can use that's just like it, IE e-fuels, because we can use it on any ICE car we want. Until the rest of the world's governments sees it, we can only hope amd pray it works and they also know it works
@@BladedAngel i know its often ignored by the left but there are long term issues with BEV's specifially right now lack of lithium there are analysts predicicting we only have enough to last another 10-15 years then what do we all just start abanding our BEV's because lithium in cars is currently only 30% recoverable
@@christiancompton2326Synthetic furs can save racing. They can save car enthusiasts. But they aren’t a silver bullet. They are expensive to make and will continue to be expensive because of how much power they require. The closest thing to a “silver bullet” is public transit infrastructure and an end to car-centric city planning. Electric trains are cheap to maintain, carbon neutral (assuming they use green energy,) and the most efficient way to move lots of people fast. And they’d get bad drivers off the road.
its really stupid that some companies are making it harder to repair cars.I mean back in the 90/80's all you needed was a screwdriver an a 10mm socket and wrench to do most repairs
Yeah not really. Maybe in the '60s, 80s and 90s cars already have a lot of electronic stuff, and that's the time period when "premium" companies were starting to intentionally make things impossible to repair. Still, WAY simpler than modern cars.
@@yaboirico5221 that fucking explains why the front and rear schrader valves on the front are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND METRIC COMPARED TO THE REAR NON-METRIC ONES on my 2000 Chevy s10. Rear ones are way way smaller than the front ones and the rear right actually stripped because it was too small to have been torqued down as much as it was so now I can't bleed my brakes properly! Thanks GM, thanks.
2:19 We also have this kind of law in France, if your car is over 30 years old, you can put the mention "car of collection" and this brings some advantages like having the technical control (an mandatory control of your car that checks if it's safe as much for you as it is for the orthers and also checks if your car don't pollute too much) that needs to be done every 4 years instead of every 2 years. It also allows you to go trough ZFE (little emissions area) no matter the tax disk you have on it (tax disk that indicates how "dirty" your car is for the environment and basically forces you to buy new cars every 6 years if you live in a big town). It's really nice for my dad who has an 1992 Renault 21 GTD Manager because it allows it to drive it more freely for the 4 months that he takes it's car out of the garage
Here in the uk it is 40 years, and the vehicle can't have had any "significant changes" in the last 30 years (engine swap, etc). Historic vehicles are road tax and safety test exempt, but most insurance companies still require them to be tested for roadworthiness, but it still only has to meet the emissions and safety standards from when it was new.
In Germany we have the "H" registration plate for cars 30years or older. To get it they are not allowed to be modified and be in original condition or parts with original certified parts. The Plate gives you a tax cut aswell as Emmisons exceptions. Still have to do inspections to be road safe for example a 130 year old Mercedes Benz Victoria recently passed the state inspection as they generally only test for road saftey
You are still allowed to do minor modifications to your car. It just has to be things, that were popular when the car was made. For example if you have a car from the 80s you can still lower the car and put new wheels on it, but it has to fit the 80s style. You also have to show documents and/or photos to prove to the TÜV.
OH like just have Road Legal stuff? Like modern blinkers etc? That's fine. As long as the road safety doesn't mean: "Make your car get 5-stars in IIHS RN" cuz ofc old cars have entirely different crumple zones, if any at all
@@BladedAngel yes exactly like they also test emissions but as far as i know they only compare it to what the car should have when it was approved for production. For example a car from before the seatbelt era can be retrofited but you are not forced to have one. we also have these Emissions labels that you stick in the windscreen ranging from a green 4 to a red 2. Mamy Cities have Emission Zones were you cannot enter if your car has anything bellow a 4. But if you have the H Plate you are exempt from that. I have seen some 2CV owners jokingly put in a unofficial black 1 label. However Germany is very very strict on tuning sadly, everything has to be registered or have a "e number" meaning the producer of the part preregisterd it for your models. But for example Halogen LED Swaps are generally illegal here, allthough recently Phillip and Osram started the tedious process of getting their retrofit leds a "E Number"
Which doesnt make sense seeing how some of the older cars are built, yet some of the modifications you can put on new cars dont pass as "safe" even if they are so much safer than older cars
One of the biggest L's got passed in a right to repair law recently. It requires manufacturers to give access to the obd2 info to anyone. Problem is that there is an exception for wireless info on the car. That can be "protected" from outside access. With most of the data being transmitted wirelessly on new cars, most manufacturers will just remove the obd2 port and have the diagnostics be done wirelessly, therefore bypassing the right to repair law.
@homics_2543 give it a bit of time and lobbying, they'll probably be gone in the next few years. Companies will probably use the excuse that it is an "outdated law" and they need to "protect your data from thieves who break into your car"...
@@BladedAngelmaybe just name each one and give it like a 2 sentence explanation. Either way I'd watch it as them commentary skills are on point my guy! 👌
please know that some places require you to have a classic plate and drive significantly less than daily driving in order to skirt emissions. Pennsylvania is one of those states
Here in Switzerland, a car only has to conform to the safety, emissions etc. standards which were relevent when the car was sold. If it is 25 or older you can get it registered as a "oldtimer" (yep, that's our name for vintage cars) which has its pros and cons. You only have to get it inspected every 6 years (instead of 2) and get to pay lower road taxes, but the car has to be in good condition and be all original or have period correct modifications. You can also only drive it 2-3k km a year.
Requiring Period Correct stuff is doable I guess. As long as they don't expect me to engineer a brand new OEM Cat to pass 2023 standards, obviously going on eBay and buying the OEM Period Correct Cat is still a chore, but at least it's not too ridiculous.
@@BladedAngel There is some slack in regards to reproduced parts from other manufacturers, which is nice. As long as you pass the old emissions you're good.
@NickBosshard Yeah we have similiar law here in Poland but I think it has to be like 30 years old or like 15 years after ending of production. But what sucks is when you register it as oldtimer it gotta be at least in 75% original so no tuning and customizing, there are also issues with selling the car from what I've heard cuz you gotta ask for permission and they can refuse. I'd still prefer more friendly laws for car guys cuz if somone buys for example 2018 Challenger idk how this law would work after all these eco laws like the one in 2035 that EU is pushing. I just hope more radical laws will never come and there will be good times for our car community
I hope all the world agrees on the 25-year-old law. So everyone just can use whatever car they want. But remember. *_Just because you have a car you can't neglect it, keep it, but keep it fine._*
Right to Repair is a lot like the first point: micro charges for things already installed. You bought the item, it's yours to do with as you see fit. Toyota plays on the fringes of the first point. I can remote start my vehicle from the key fob but I can't see the tire pressure from the dash, I have to use the app. That to me is critical - if the dash suddenly shows tire pressure warning, I'd want to see on the dash where that condition exists and how severe without having to subscribe to an app and open my phone to see that critical information. If we can get legislature added where the console display (which Apple Play, Google Drive, and media are controlled) had to provide all critical gauged information it would do a lot to help drivers.
that gave me hope that the future wont be as miserable as i imagined it would be lucky that we have some sensible people making laws (hopefully enforcing them aswell)
honestly i would love to see Right To Repair expanded where they have to release cad drawings and electronics diagrams for the IC's when they end first party production
As a car enthusiast myself this makes me very happy. Nice to know that in the rise of electric vehicles there's still parts of the government that show care for gearheads that love internal combustion engines like myself. Long live gearheads! ⚙️
Fun fact: anti-in car subscription beliefs were actually held by many enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke. This ideology had a great influence on the founding fathers, who proposed banning these subscriptions through a constitutional amendment, but this was ultimately left out of the final draft of the US Constitution
Patents specifically are public, the way patents work, at least in the uk is: you get legal protection for your invention and proof you came up with it, so only you can make it / decide who makes it. But the drawings, technical details are then publicly available to allow further innovation or when you stop paying for the legal protection then others can at that point start making it, with the idea being, well you get a head start as you can publish as the product comes out, so other can figure it out, keeping it safe longer allowing a lead in that market, while still keeping innovation public to encourage further innovation
6:36 i commute through there everyday and i can assue you that theres a lot of people who are oblivious of their own surroundings not knowing people thay need to go to work/home, and they get upset because we intentionally cut them off. They're the reason why I'm consistently late to my job.
"impeding traffic" has been a law in my state for my entire driving life. if something on the road has 7 or more cars in line behind it, it is impeding traffic, and must allow them to pass at the next safe opportunity; including pulling off into a turnout and stopping to let them pass.
I'm happy that here in Washington, speeding for the most part will not nail you with reckless driving. Like, cop catches you goin 30 over but it's clear you aren't putting anyone in danger, you're just gonna get a fat ticket and be sent on your way. Reckless has to be paired with a few other infractions here.
4:55 see, this is one thing that I hate but probably benefit from I'm going to get a GT86/FRS/BRZ one day, and its probably only going to be slightly used because the previous owner decided to get a different car with more horsepower I plan on keeping that car for a long time once I do get it. I'm fine with eventually having to replace parts because it will still cost me less than getting a brand new car as long as its all properly maintained. Hell, if the whole engine block eventually needs replacement I'll get another one but with forged components so that it lasts longer.
Let’s be honest the main reason that states are banning subscription services is our representatives all drive new bmws and they weren’t paying that 18.99 a month
It's fine and dandy till a politician suffers then they take action. Sure they can afford it easily but why am I paying 22.59 a month to be able to move my seat back and forth
I really wished people would hang onto their cars more because you tend to grow a bond and learn more about your car once you own it for years. It’s that attitude of feeling the need to have the newest thing that I find is becoming more common
I was never concerned about the "subscription car". People will just start selling plug and play harnesses that bypass the system to allow these features to be used because, like you said, they are already installed because if they don't install them, they can't charge you.
Knowing that my '98 Honda Civic DX is now an "antique" car, I'm happy I don't have to follow the EPA regulations for inspections anymore (which means engine/exhaust mods are game).
I'll try getting an antique car in Poland (probably Skoda 120 and maybe some sort of Soviet military vehicle) as I'll only need to pass vehicle inspection ONCE for its whole lifespan and if clean transport zones become a thing they'll probably be exempt from their rules. There are some caveats and limits, but overall it's profitable.
I live in a city in California that has 1 freeway going through it, and for the entirety of the freeway, it's 2 lanes, but my city is not actually that small, so the highway is always busy. Yet for some reason, people think it's a good idea to drive 5 over in the fast lane, the same speed as the slow lane, so everyone gets stuck doing 70, when I'd like to go 80.
@@Fire91ful no because it's California and that's legal, also, 80 in a 65 is enough to get pulled over, it's faster than everyone else, I'm not holding anybody up.
I don't like Polish roadblocks, but I also don't like "passing lane" restrictions, and here's why: Many roads, like the 101 in norcal, the right lane has so much truck traffic that the roadway is thrashed, and makes for an uncomfortable ride.
Well that I own a 98 bmw e36 I’m glad to hear about the classic car laws. We have that in Canada but not 100% how old your car must be here (mines not on classic insurance) but good more places are adopting that rule
your little ending bit on #4 made me laugh and #5 is something we really need to keep around ,not to mention that all the expensive cars are actually being built to provent people from using their right to repair. Like Porche not having access to the engine, just the dipstick
I love the idea that before the anti subscription law is passed every where your BMW will go between paid and un paid modes, but it'll probably have to be entirely removed because it would be harder to keep
8:22 it’s why it’s so good to have dashcams. Because this will help you when you fight in court. Officers will always try to enforce speed Laws first, because they’re easy to prove (radar and camera) and quickly profitable. They’ll even lie about the scene of an incident, saying “I didn’t see other cars) even when they purposely waited for the last vehicle of the line to pass to pull them over. Having footage that you were going a reasonable speed following the flow of traffic, you can prove you were within your right to go the speed you were pulled over for.
Cars have to be at least 40 years old to be exempt from Road fund tax in the UK. Any vehicle only needs to comply with the emission standards at the year of manufacture.
I think you could just override the feature where they ask you to put in the credit card because it may be because it ofc is controlled by computers, it's gonna be a while before someone figures out which computer, maybe it's embedded in the touch screen display, maybe it's programmed into the ECU, idk, it may void the warranty though but it really doesn't matter because 18$ a month is too much for heated seats.
BMW has a subscription service for their air bags to work too. You can only sub on their in car wifi and it is a pay by mile useage. They dont tell you they are billing your account but they mail you a bill when your card is declined.
In Europe if you have an older car that is not in rule anymore specially with emission regulations they have different categories and say which category can enter the city and which not. Like if you have an euro 5 car that means that is matriculated from 1/09/2009 to 01/2016 and you can't circulate most days in the city. P.S. English is not my first language so sorry for my writing errors.
Here in Paraguay we don’t got any emissions laws but, you can’t legally drive RHD cars unless they’re 1960s or older (1961 model year or newer and you’re screwed) so you’re obligated to make it LHD, so for example JDM cars from the 90s like Nissan Skylines (never sold as LHD) you gotta perform a conversion to legally get it registered; never understood why they haven’t updated it, because those conversions are legal not regulated and 90% of the time poorly done, most of the times they’d just take the steering rack, cut the mounts, flip them and resolder them, making them weak specially for our road conditions There are cars that have their LHD version that obviously have the chance of being properly converted with OEM parts, like Aristos, Supras, Subarus, etc. but even then it’s still ridiculous that we can’t have them as they came out
It's mostly a state by state thing. Ohio it isn't based on miles but it's mostly a case of "can only drive it to events or the repair shop" but stuff like driving to the store to get a gallon of milk isn't allowed. It doesn't stop anyone but it's one of those things that's there.
Speaking of right to repair, the 2017-2023 Ford GT, although I haven’t heard of anything saying an owner isn’t allowed to mess with it or repair it, there are actually only 3 Ford Performance technicians in the entire world that are trained to and allowed to repair Ford GTs. This is probably due to the fact that the hardware is extremely sophisticated including the engine despite it being a 3.5L EcoBoost which exists in many other vehicles, then again, it’s also sophisticated.
Tollbooth removal is a bit tricky. Roads have upkeep, and it can be quite high the more lanes there are. On one hand, tollbooths can relieve some traffic through congestion pricing. On the other hand, the mere fact there is tollbooth at all on a road that is originally a freeway is a symptom of fiscal problem: tax revenue isn't reaching road maintenance. If there are no alternatives to that toll road (alternate route, transit line, etc.), its even worse. So, it comes down to these important paramters: • The cost of road maintenance. • The amount of tax revenue. • The budget alloted for that road maintenance.
Here in Germany we have a law since 1997, were if your car is 30 years or older it has the status "historic". This means it dont has ro obey the newest Emission laws
You know, I have a DSG 2012 Golf 6 with the 160hp engine and all extras that I own for 7 years now. I will drive that car until it falls apart. It has everything I would ever want in a car, is quiet, comfortable, powerful enough even for German Autobahn, and all the gadgets I want minus the ones I don't want. I really don't see a point in buying a car just because it looks newer. Somehow, throwing stuff away that still works well and fulfills its function has always rubbed me the wrong way, and this Golf is the strongest case for that.
Sadly vintage law in a lot of states just pushes the inspection dates further away, here in Colorado it goes from every 2 years to every 4 years, it still has to pass emissions and meet safety standards, they also limited them to only being able to be driven less than 2000 miles a year, if you go over that then they are now a commuter car and will be inspected every 2 years.
I'm glad that we have these laws, but we need two more: 1.) Anti-pacing laws. Speeding up when being overtaken or slowing down while overtaking is not only annoying and unsafe, but messes up the flow of traffic. Yes, that includes if you're in a car and a truck or even an RV moves in to pass you. Get a ticket. 2.) A lot of two-lane highways out west severely need this: if you are going under the speed limit, you must pull over and wait for anyone that catches up to you. If you've got time to go under the speed limit, then you got time to let people by.
Here in Ohio you aren't really allowed to drive a historical car unless it's to a event or to a shop. Isn't really gonna stop people ive seen classics being driven daily
@sandyv4819 actually that's only if you register them as a classic or antique. Same with most states. You can register any car as a regular registration and drive to your hearts content. I looked into it as a brief resident and planning on returning soon. In fact where I was, there was a classic on every third corner
The classic/ antique thing in Nevada you have to drive less than 5k miles a year, it's the worst because I drive an 85 300zx and drive like 20-30k miles a year
In Czech republic we have oldtimer license plates. They usualy start with 2 numbers an letter V so "02V 4269" for example. And the letters are green. Its for cars at least 30 or more years old that can be modified but you have to prove the mod is at least 30 years old. You can get the plates by getting "autenticity testation" done by licensed inspector from local oldtimer club. Its better to keep regular plates, especialy if you have ones with wich the car came from factory. But its a way you can get a vehicle that had no registration back on the road and you dont have to pay ECO-tax-thingy anymore

Hello. Pennsylvanian. We have so many toll roads because PennDOT needs as much money as they can get to buy shiny new traffic cones and various traffic control equipment to adequately alert drivers that the left lane, as well as both shoulders, and exit 302A AND 302B, but C is okay, and it will be an exit at a reduced and radar enforced speed because the highway you're exiting to is ALSO being worked on... Just know that every penny goes towards making our infrastructure better (maybe, or something, probably not, but here's to hoping. Please enjoy our fancy new BLINKY traffic cones).
Someone who gets rid of a car after 5 years doesn't throw it away. They sell it for less money to someone else. Constantly buying new and selling used builds up the second hand car market for those of us too broke to consider buying new.
Recent law Massachusetts was passed to straighten Right to Repair, but NHTSA to manufacturers to not comply with the Law. In fact, a member of the NHTSA was a lawyer from a company that works for the Manufacturers.
For Houston toll roads, if i understood correctly, when the law was being passed for the beltway to be built, the drivers on it would pay for it to be built as a way to fund it.... It technically has never finished being built because they are always expanding it. So, the Houston toll roads will likely remain toll roads just because Houston keeps finding an excuse to build upon it further or build a new toll road (hwy 99). Granted, the Channelview bridge on the east side of the beltway needs another bridge because that bridge is sketchy. But turns out, construction on the new bridge has had 3 different contractors because they keep screwing up the build.
We actually have a slow poke law in CA that just isn't inforced. If there are 5 or more cars behind you your supposed to remove yourself from the fast lane.
the companies that don't want you to repair cars are the same companies who want to replace cheap ass parts in your car with more cheep ass parts keeping the amazing manufactures of of 3rd party makers from making the part more reliable or even down right better
