Don't think so, mine is just about 7 years old I only got the A/C letter this year. The test took like a minute...and gotta do it again in 2014 :fuuuuu:

Just passed a few weeks ago and it's good for two years. Do the cancel insurance a day before it expires and re insure for a year trick and I'm good for 3. So if this happens looks like I won't have to go do aircare ever again!

It doesn't work. ICBC will already know well in advance you have to do Aircare.

NEW BYLAW WILL IMPROVE AIR QUALITY AND PUBLIC HEALTH

way ahead of you.

i use a cat for about .... 2 hours a year ....

hopefully come 2015 it would b 0

:ilied:

They tried to stop me from doing that last spring. I cancelled with 2 weeks left, and wanted to buy another year. The insurance agent's ICBC computer said "no dice". I was like "WTF?!", so my agent called ICBC direct. It took a bit of nagging, but they allowed me to do another year. It had to be manually changed by ICBC.

Those cunts will try to stop you, but the law is the law. If your car is due for aircare on July 2nd, and you cancel on June 30th but buy another year on July 1st, you're still well within your legal right to do so. It's a loophole, and until it's closed they can't legally stop you.

But they will try..... :failed:

What's the point of having an expiration date if you can't insure within it? That's so fucking retarded.

If I can get 2years+364 days out of my Aircare, fuck you.

Could try that changing address out of the GVRD and changing back. Worked for me before but the concern was not so much the cost as the ability to pass Aircare!

Study to examine if AirCare should be used on diesel trucks - News1130


:pokerface: :suspicious: :fulloffuck: :failed:

lol you guys must be dreaming. Aircare will never go away unless they replace it with something even more profitable.

well.... fuck :pokerface:

Ever heard of the useless carbon tax?

let's just hope that this gets delayed and swept under the rug, in typical bureaucratic fashion.

Should it be allowed to live? approx. 110 jobs on the line.


BCGEU makes last-gasp plea to save AirCare program

A union is appealing to Metro Vancouver in an attempt to save AirCare.

The B.C. Government and Service Employees Union is making a pitch to Metro’s environment and parks committee Thursday for support to maintain the emission-testing program for cars and light trucks — even though the provincial government has announced the Lower Mainland program will conclude in 2014.

The BCGEU’s contention is that ending AirCare will result in more pollution because about 12 per cent of all vehicles fail tests annually.

Without the required AirCare approval, those vehicles might not get repaired and would continue to produce harmful emissions.

A BCGEU study supporting AirCare, Renewing Our Commitment to Clean Air in B.C., has been endorsed by the Asthma Society of Canada, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, the Sierra Club of B.C., the Environmental Youth Alliance, the Hospital Employees Union and the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union Local 378.

But the study won’t get much support from Langley City councillor Gayle Martin, the vice-chairwoman of the Metro committee.

“Personally, I think AirCare has done its job and I’m happy to see it leave at the end of 2014,” said Martin Monday.

“The newer cars, they’re not polluting like they used to,” said Martin.

“What I’m concerned about is the trucks,” she said.

While Port Metro Vancouver is paying for television ads promoting the reduction of diesel emissions from vessels that now use shore-based power instead of running their engines, there are a significant number of tractor trailers and off-road equipment that only get periodic testing from mobile units.

Martin doesn’t think that’s sufficient.

“I would be happy if they had an AirCare for commercial trucks,” she said.

Jordan Bateman, the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, didn’t know enough about truck emissions to address that issue but he agreed with Martin that AirCare for cars isn’t necessary anymore.

“AirCare is a program that has run its course,” he said. “The AirCare cut was the first good news for car-driving taxpayers we’ve probably had in 15 years.

“Air quality is better than ever,” said Bateman. “The problems we had in the 1990s when AirCare started, we don’t have anymore.”

AirCare’s own report about results and observations from 2011 and 2012 said emissions from light-duty vehicles decreased from 149,300 tonnes in 1992 when the program began to 18,500 tonnes in 2012 — an 89 per cent reduction.

The majority of that, 58 per cent, came from new vehicle technology but AirCare gave itself credit for 31 per cent of the reduction.

About 110 BCGEU jobs are also on the line as a result of the AirCare cancellation.

only reason i boosted my car was because i thought aircare was ending... well... shit!

:ohgodwhy:

What frustrates me about this appeal, is that the BCGEU is wasting time and effort in appealing with these relatively weak arguments to save an obsolete program, instead of taking that time and trying to help find these employees positions in gov't programs that are actually useful.

Nobody has anything to worry about. It won't make a difference, AirCare is gone.

I will not miss Aircare. End the program already.

here's an idea: icbc needs to look at like a 5-10 year plan. they have all these testing facilities that will soon be a waste of space. they need to tear down the old buildings and construct drivers testing facilities. then you go out and create a bunch of jobs by training and hiring testers and all the people needed to staff the new facilities. then you implement a mandatory driver retest every 5 years. final result: more jobs, less shit drivers on the road, less accidents, lower insurance costs, less traffic, more people using public transit. holy shit i just solved a crap load of problems!!!

No aircare? Catless mid pipe time! :troll:

kinda sucks as aircare was my primary source to check vehicle mileage when buying a car.
other than that, good

fk my aircare is up this year and I have to do it just to get licensed for 1 more year lol

uninsure then re insure before it runs out

you are welcome :badpokerface:

Half the time the idiots working there don't even record it properly. They put my car 200k when it was 150k one year and and I didn't notice, then when I go to sell it everyone thought I rolled it back.
