Re: 😲 New bill could do away with yearly Pa. vehicle inspections
He's kind of right but kind of wrong. If it's still got a good sticker on it, it's failed but you can have them fix it or fix it yourself and take it back to get stickered but still drive it around. If you are on good terms with your garage, they'll put a sticker on it for you and tell you to take care of that problem right away but that is not legal. And I suppose there is a third option: He rejects it and you just drive it around with an expired sticker on it.

Re: 😲 New bill could do away with yearly Pa. vehicle inspections
I could be wrong but I don't think an inspector is allowed to remove a sticker unless he is putting a new one on the vehicle.
There are temporary stickers for a vehicle that passes the safety inspection but did not pass emissions inspection. I have never seen one in the wild in over 30 years.
For your enjoyment...

Re: 😲 New bill could do away with yearly Pa. vehicle inspections
I'm good with them doing away with it or at least making it every other year. The system as it stands is broken anyway. Some shops will pass you as long as you pay the inspection fee. Dash lit up like a Xmas tree, bald tires, metal-on-metal brakes, busted lights, mirror sitting in the back seat, pass. Other places will fail you for the slightest infraction either because they are afraid of losing their certification or simply because they want to bilk you for repairs. Then there are the fake inspection stickers, which are widely available and cheaper than the actual inspection. They're sold openly for $30-60 per pair (safety + emissions). No one is actively enforcing the law against those who sell or use them, so their usage has been snowballing for years.

Re: 😲 New bill could do away with yearly Pa. vehicle inspections
Like I said, my recollection is many years ago, I'm almost 65 yrs old, it was a long time ago, might have been back as far as prior to when once a year started in 1982, might be wrong altogether.
I lived in ACNJ in the mid 1970's and I do remember the stop sign stickers they'd put on, I had one. You drove thru a long garage while passing thru various checkpoints and at the end you got a sticker, good or bad. I sort of remember thinking it was odd that you could keep driving the car if it failed. I've lived in PA all but those 3 years in the 70's.
I haven't had to worry about such a thing in a long time either, even my junkers I kept up to snuff.
