Any thoughts?? NYS DMV is going to drop eye exams for drivers license renewals. You only need to self-ceritfy that you can see.

Is this Good or bad? Does not lead to a decrease in license renewal fees, therefore it appears to be either
A) a cost reduction step. Lower cost = higher profit margin
B) reflective of layoffs state-wide where the DMV has to make do with fewer people. Eliminating a step that is consuming resources may help them maintain current service levels.

It may be for you, but then how to tell the world that one can indeed down-shift from 3rd to 1st without damaging the car. It remains in your mind like a thing that you have seen but cant tell anyone because they'd never believe it

I can see more of such things happening in the future. Less bang for the tax paying buck I guess
The one thing they could really do, is to remove the annual NYS Inspection. Do like NJ does and make new cars exempt for 5 years. Go a step further and make CPO vehicles exempt for 2 years, following which an annual inspection will make sense. I seriously have never seen the need to have a perfectly fine car inspected.

How awesome, the dash has a digital readout for what gear you are in
I always liked that on the Nighthawk and have always wanted it in the S

Back when I lived in Memphis, you had to get your car inspected every year if you lived in the city. If you lived in the burbs or any other part of Shelby county, there was no need for vehicular inspection. Just keep renewing your registration and you are set. Then they extended the inspection requirement to more locations as the city annexed the burbs.
I can see the need for older cars, but I don't see why a brand new vehicle needs a state inspection while it is under warranty. Service stations and dealerships have 20-30 point inspections specifically so they can upsell you or draw your attention to things that are critical.
