You drive an old car that doesn’t look so good,
but gets you where you need to go. You are saving money because you
want to pay for college. You know the car won’t pass inspection
for emissions. You friend's brother is a mechanic. He always passes
your friends car for emissions even if it doesn’t really meet the
standards. Your friend told you that his brother could help you out
also. You know that if you are without a car you can’t get to work
and you can’t afford to spend money on a new car. However, you
don’t know if you want to drive a car that is polluting the air
beyond the legal limit. What would you do?
- What types of air pollutants do cars emit?
- Would you take the car to your friend’s brother
and let him pass it for emissions illegally?
- Would you have the car tested legally and use money
from your college savings to pay for repairs?
- Would you spend your money on a new car and forget
about college or borrow the money?
- Would you do something else?
- What law will you and your friend's brother be violating
if you allow the car to be passed illegally?
