Failed VA inspection

[Anonymous]

I didn't know my front breaks were low. The car drives great. Failed inspection. They told me I have 15 days to fix the issue, so I have a mechanic putting in new breaks this Friday. Meanwhile, I need to use the car because I live in the sticks and no metro. Anyone drive on a rejection sticker for a couple of days, or is it a massively stupid thing to do?

It's fine. When did the inspection expire?

I'm not driving on an expired inspection. It's a FAILED inspection.

We did. Got pulled over once. Showed we were within window and didn’t get ticket.

Yes, you can drive around with a rejection sticker for 15 days.

I'm reading online that you can drive on a rejection sticker, but only to drive to a repair facility. You're not supposed to drive to work or anywhere else. That true?

But only to a repair facility, right? I'm also reading that you can't drive on highways with a failed sticker.

I didn't get a rejection sticker but was rejected. Pulled over and given ticket. Went to court and showed I rectified and it was dropped. YMMV. Fairfax Co.

Ever gone 26mph in a 25 zone?

The cop ran your plates for no reason and saw that you had an inspection rejection on file? Were you driving past 15 days of the initial inspection?

Well, f*ck, maybe I should just keep breaking the law indefinitely.

Brakes. The word you're looking for is brakes.

I'm good with "breaks", thanks.
