what is a referee?
I have heard some people say that they have to see a referee about smog. Why would this happen to you. Is this just the two year smog check. Or do you get busted and they make to go to a certain smog check station?

this is only in california (i think). when u dont pass smog at a regular smog check place DMV automaticly refers u to a referee. now before u go to the referee u have to fix ur car so its smog free but the computer that a regular smog check place wont let ya check smog again so u HAVE to go to the referee. a referee is a government owned smog place and if ur car dont pass smog there...well lets just say u'll be walking home from there

Its not like they are going to take your car on the spot, you get to go back and fix the stuff wrong.
Another reasons for being sent the Ref is for getting caught with an intake or part on your car that doesn't have a CARB # on it.

A referee is someone who helped the Lakers win... 
On the other hand, a referee will tell you if your car is legal or not.

If you fail in some category at the referree, you have a certain amount of time to correct the problem, they do not impound your car on the spot, unless the motor is stolen, or you have no cat, or something extreme like that. I went to the referree to get my motor inspected, smogged, and verified when I did my motor swap. They gave me a sticker that states my swap is legitimate, and legal for use on California roads.
