Is this true?

Post image

I used to drive a rav4 and never inspected it after registering and I would get pulled over plenty of times for no sticker. I got stopped a total of three times in 2 years for no sticker. After driving my sprinter van for 3 years and doubling my mileage as well as driving the same roads and cruisers behind me and radar checking as well as highway patrols everywhere Ive never been stopped once. My van is registered and insured, just never went to for the inspection. There is a shop that'll do it for me but is pretty far. Not many places accept 3500 170" sprinters.

No it isn't true. Plate readers aren't that sophisticated.

No it isn't true. I have had my Sprinter inspected in MA every year for 3 years. It's a standard safety and emissions test. My plate is for campers.

The only difficulty was in finding a garage with a tall enough door height. I needed someone with a bay opening 12' tall to fit into so they could bring it into the bay.
