Anyone know about the inspection rules? I registered my truck last week, and they told me that I had a week (I think it was, or was it 2) to get it inspected.
I didn't do it earlier, because the horn wouldn't work and I needed new wipers. I fixed both of those things last night. I am over a week though.
Are there late fees or penalties, etc.? Or am I just at risk by driving around without a sticker? I really don't have time (or $$) until end of next week.

im pretty sure they dont charge you a late fee when you go to get your late inspection... but you are at risk of getting caught without up-to-date registration im not proud of it but i was driving with a Rejection sticker since january and only got it passed end of april. luckily i didnt get caught but theres always the chance (supposedly $50 fine, but if youre related to Goonz you might lose your license  )

you have 7 days from date of registration.
and there are no late fees.

Definitely would recommend getting it inspected and then just tooling around with a Rejection sticker. You have 30 days to get the Rejection sticker fixed, and you don't have to pay to get it re-inspected. (at least I didn't in 2002 when the Contour failed for tie rod ends.)

it all depends on what it fails for.
safety items have to be repaired immediately
and emmisions items have 60 days.

odd .. tie rods were definitely a safety issue, and I had 30 days no problem ..

Well, I already missed the 7 days. I don't have time to do it right now, and with all the repairs and registration expenses, etc. I really can't afford the $29 this week. It's that or gas to get to work!
Our $$ situation right now really sucks ! Trying to fix get fixed the Contour really bled us dry!

yeah, i had a rejection sticker on my svt for about two months before i got around to getting it fixed. failed due to window tinting but the most cops ever said was to get it done asap. i just didn't have that much time back then since i just started a new job and didn't wake up that early on the weekends. plus, i just kinda forgot about it  but yeah just get it done as soon as you can and i'm really sorry to hear about the car.

Better to have the CEL after inspection rather than before.
