YOur statesment ring true. Last New Years Day Mr HOB parked his old/new van on a side street from our home. (Our parking lot never has any visitor's parking spaces open.) He had brand new temp tags that are good for thirty days to allow you to get the vehicle inspected, etc. Well, an ambitious Fairfax County officer ticketed him for out of date, out of state inspection stickers.
No matter, he got the van inspected on Saturday...
BTW, the remaining DMV locations are nuts now that many of them have been closed. Mr HOB spent two hours there on Monday Dec. 30 only to get out of line in disgust since he moved only 2 spaces in 2 hours. Then he went back at 8 am Tuesday morning only to spend 6 hours there before getting his tags! Sheesh! Thanks Gov. Moron!
