Not only is our office seeing an increase in the number of tickets for inspections and registrations but as I drive around I am noticing a lot of registrations that are expired. Although DMV does mail a registration renewal card to drivers, not having that inspection sticker in the driver's side window seems to be throwing some folks off.
Here's what you need to know about the recent change to the inspection law. Everyone should have "rolled over" to no longer having an inspection sticker in the window. When you renew your registration, you must have had (and passed) an inspection within 90 days of your registration's expiration date. For example, my registration expires July 15th, so my inspection must have been completed between May 15th and July 15th in order for me to renew my registration.
If you are one of those who can't remember because you don't have that nice inspection sticker in your window, get you a post it note, write down when your registration expires and tape it where your sticker used to be. It might save you a couple hundred dollars in attorney fees and fines.
So, go out now and check your registration sticker!
