Police officers and DOT inspectors can and do write citations for excessive smoke or any other safety violations they observe. That does happen and reduces the amount of unsafe vehicles on the road. Heavy diesel trucks do not get emissions testing during a state inspection.
Thank you. Exactly the way I see it. And most violations that they check for on an inspection become obvious if they are not working.
