It's one of the few times where the Government has tried to show some understanding. People that drive older cars, which generally have more trouble passing emisions testing, are though to make and save less money than folks who drive newer cars. Instead of forcing you to park your car due to lack of funds they attempted to set a reasonable dollar amount on repairs. -And you'd be suprised how much some simple maintenance can improve test results.
