Re: Inspection Sticker Ticket (Question for the Experienced)
When I called the court I got the impression that the "fine" is $96 which I guess means I could pay that and not get the car inspected.
An intelligent person would have gotten the car inspected before driving it.
An intelligent person would have asked the person they spoke with over the phone instead of asking people on a forum about it.

Re: Inspection Sticker Ticket (Question for the Experienced)
I am floored by your persistence to prove a non-issue. As mentioned above I wrote that to explain the fee structure to you. Elsewhere I mention getting the car inspected. This should be a non-issue, yet you want to preach about something?
No, typical response would have been to call you a faggot for continuing to ask questions about something of no importance. I simply stated over and over my intentions which you felt the need to question and then try and remind me to do something I had already intended to do. Congrats.
Also, as stated above (try to look at the thread as a whole and not simply pick out lines that I wrote to educate you, which you are now using to build your "case") I am asking on a local forum as I was interested in the feedback of others. Believe it or not, the court employee very well could be wrong (government admin employees in general are laughably disinterested in their jobs) and someone here might point me in the right direction of how their recent experience differed from that of what the court might say.
Typical vadriven response:

Re: Inspection Sticker Ticket (Question for the Experienced)
100% correct.
If you are required to go to court or attempt to pay JUST BEFORE your court date in that 10 to 15 day (or what ever it is, i think it varies with the type of offense) window that they process your paper work for the judge you have to fork out the money for court costs.
I had the same thing happen to me: Bought my car in NC, fully registered and insured before I picked it up. When driving back the SAME DAY I picked it up, I was stopped by Henrico's finest (not a block from my house mind you). Even after showing him my bill of sale that was NOTARIZED, he still wrote me the ticket. I showed up to court with the pink slip from my inspection that I got THE NEXT DAY and he of course dropped the ticket but sent me around to the clerk. There, the clerk explained to me that " Unfortunately, if you have to step in front of the judge for any traffic offense, you have to pay court fees." So I took that $60 shot in the ass, but it was worth it hear the judge tell the cop that " .... this was a waste of my time and especially Mr. O'Leary's (me) time."
You on the other hand, drove for 6 weeks with out getting it inspected. What did you expect?

I searched for fees that the clerk of courts are permitted to charge and did not see anything for traffic. Maybe somebody who is really interested in this can find it but I doubt that you will have to pay anything if you have the charge dismissed early.

what exactly are your intentions?
you already intended to pay ticket/go to court? Then why start a thread? yeah yeah, because you wanted peoples "personal experience". If you "intended on doing anyway" why even ask?
I'm not "preaching" anything and I don't need to be "educated" on how to pick up the phone and call the number on the back of a ticket to find out how much it's going to cost me. If I was ignorant enough to NOT get my car inspected for a month and a half but drove it anyways, I wouldn't post on a forum about it, much less ask for advice on how to get out of paying for some of it.
I did forget to put " OP is a faggot ". the signature VAdriven response. You got me there.

Re: Inspection Sticker Ticket (Question for the Experienced)
My experience,
Got stopped last year in Spotsylvania VA for NO inspection. Got it inspected, showed judge the receipt, case dismissed and walked out without paying a dime.
Year prior to that, got stopped in Richmond with a sticker the had EXPIRED 9 months earlier. Showed up in court expecting to pay an $80 max fine (did'nt fix it). I was fined $20 for every month that passed after the expiration date PLUS court costs. OUCH!!!!
