I got a ticket for expired inspection.
I didn't even realize it was up. If I get it inspected today, do I still have to pay the ticket?

Re: I got a ticket for expired inspection.
not sure - maybe you can get it done and then goto the police station to show a cop and possibly they will tear up the ticket - they did that with my window tint ticket a few years ago

Re: I got a ticket for expired inspection.
there should be an option somewhere to indicate that you got it done. I had this a few years ago, you just mail in a copy of the inspection receipt and you should be okay!

I was able to get the inspection done and show them proof and I didn't have to pay.

Get it inspected and then call the court.. you may have to appear in court, but just call them and they'll tell you what to do.

I actually brought it down to the precinct- I knew a lady who worked there. She took it and then called me later to let me know I didn't have to pay. I didn't want to chance something happening with the mail.

Re: I got a ticket for expired inspection.
Karissa, were you pulled over, or just parked on the street?
I have a defective light in my car, and to fix it, they have to rip apart the dash and charge me a lot of money. HOWEVER, with the new inspection rules, passed May 05, a car cannot pass inspection if the "check engine soon" light is on.
I've been driving around for nearly 2 months with an expired inspection

To get around the "Check Engine Soon" light....you can pull the fuse to that so it isn't on during the inspection...just a thought

Re: I got a ticket for expired inspection.
I live in Queens and the cops routinely come down our streets to give tickets for expired inspections, since we all park on the street.

tried that already  you're a sneaky girl, just like me!  The computer that the car gets hooked up to when its being inspected tells you that a fuse is out.

Did you find out why the light is on? Sometime it's something stupid like you didn't tighten the gas cap all the way and air/water (?) got in there. They should be able to tell you when you get an oil change.

I just got mine done and relaized it was due in Sept. I never noticed either!
I know a few years back I got a ticket( car was parked, cop must have out it there when I was at work) for un inspected and I had to pay it at court and show proof of inspection.

Yes, they said its defective, HOWEVER - there was a window to have it repaired for free, but because I didn't own the car at that time, that window has passed.
The cam positioning sensor causes the light to go on and stay on. Tested independantly, the sensor is fine.  I hate cars.
 Thanks, though
