Rapid Pass Emission Test - Drive Thru Testing
Posted by: Zip Emission Testing ()
Date: February 02, 2016 08:19PM

At least 120 days prior to your car registration deadline, find a RAPIDPASS location, which vary every week all around Northern Virginia on major roadways (the schedule will change as RAPIDPASS systems do not operate during rain, snow, high winds or other adverse weather conditions).

For example, on Jan. 13, there are testing locations in Herndon, Fair Lakes, Fairfax and Falls Church (in addition to Stafford and Loudoun counties). When you pass through a testing location, you may receive a letter in the mail saying your vehicle has qualified. You then have the option to complete your emissions test online (or you can choose to take your vehicle into a traditional testing location).

Great so if I have a CEL on I can take it past one of those and pass assuming it's just a BS CEL like an o2 sensor

You have a good point. Or, if you have a friend with the same make and model of car, just put your plates on his car and have him drive through the rapid pass emissions line. Good for another two years if your own vehicle happens to have a lot of emissions issues.
