I've got a license plate, a registration sticker on the plate, and registration papers in the glove box. The registration is, like, filling out a piece of paper and paying them a small amount of money. They don't even *look* at the car.
About 10, 000 people live in my town.

Gravdigr: Here's my driver's license, and proof of insurance. My proof of registration is on my license plate. Cop: *blink-blink*

Same. I'm like, "Here's my license, insurance... . . . ...what was the other thing ??"

I had no idea different states had so many different ways of doing it. We have one registration sticker on the glass, but they won't mail it to you unless the online database shows that you got an inspection done (and passed) in the last couple of months.

I think this line's mostly filler.

In DC you pay registration and inspection fees online to get a window sticker that also serves as a pass to ignore any 2 hour parking limits in your neighborhood, and actually go get the inspection whenever it expires.
For hybrids they don't even check emissions, just whether the "check engine" light is on and that the car isn't physically falling apart.

I live in an odd little section of the county - roughly five square miles - that doesn't have to do emission checks. I have no idea why this particular area is exempt (neither did the lady at the licensing office last time I renewed my tags), but I'm not complaining. Of course, they don't TELL you this when you move here. I only found out after I mentioned to a neighbor that I just did the emissions test on my truck, and she asked, "Why would you do that?" I replied, "Because they sent me a paper that said I had to." She grinned and said, "They lie."
The pain in the ass is, when emission testing time rolls around every few years, I can't renew online; I have to go in to the licensing office and personally tell them that I live in the exempt area. Why they can't put this info into their software is beyond me. And what are these window stickers you people speak of? The only thing I get when I renew my licensing is a little sticker that goes on the rear license plate. |

It doesn't show in the picture but the emissions sticker and safety inspection sticker both have a very colorful hologram on the face.

Not all of the state has emissions testing, that's why they were split.
Sometimes the expiration of the two doesn't coincide. The safety sticker used to expire with the registration but now it's a year from issue. People were bitching because if they buy a car it has to be inspected right away, but when the plates they transferred from their old car expire in a few months they had to get another full price inspection. I'm supposed to have a third sticker on the windshield for a vehicle over 6,000 gvwr, but I don't.

Tire service truck for mines and oil fields.
A lot different from tire service of old. That same location is a Firestone dealer today.

Sort of related to the tire truck above (and the shop below it).
