It seems the state overhauled the safety check program by limiting the amount of safety checks each garage can do per day as well as requiring the photographs etc. Many places will now only do safety checks by appointment only. Some people have to take unpaid time off work so that they can get their vehicle "approved" for another year.
New cars have safety checks that are valid for two years. Prior to living in Hawaii I never lived in state that required safety checks. I understand that vehicle safety checks are not going to go away, but maybe they can be changed to once every other year (and while we are at it, how about the option to register a car for 2 years at a time instead of just one... if you want to). Lets face it a brake light is just as likely to burn out 24 hours after a safety check as it is in 24 months.
So my question is, is there a web site that lists the contact information for all our representatives so that I can tell them this is what the people want, and so do something about it?
