I just got a registration renewal notice and 1 of the cars needs to be tested this year.

I haven't renewed and needed emissions (both) here, so I'm just wondering on procedures.

do I get tested then pay mail my registration tax to the county? or is it more involved? how does the county know if I've been to the emissions testing place if I'm mailing in payment?

or do I have to bring something in person?



also what's up with insurance increases? I just got notice that my insurance in going up almost $1000 a year (on 2 cars and home- other vehicles are with a specialty company). I got a speeding ticket last year and lost a "safe driver discount" plus a surcharge totaling almost $250...but the other $750 is just rate increases. I wish I could increase my pricing 25% on a non tangible item
