Yup, gotta love how in addition to having unnecessary and over the top inspection laws this state adds an additional penalty for the crime of not having a driveway to park in while having said rejection sticker. I’ve said it before and I’ll be happy to say it again - MA inspection laws and penalties are primarily a class tax on lower income residents. Oh and since I’m sure someone will bring this up, there is little to no correlation between car accidents due to mechanical failure and states that have more lenient inspection laws.

Pretty sure the crime here was leaving the car on the street unrepaired for over 2 months without re-inspecting.

Not sure what's oppressive about the safety checklist outside of a license plate lightbulb being out. I'd rather not share the road mid-February with someone on bald tires.

We had a rejection for the passenger side seatbelt weight sensor, was 3k to fix and did not affect anyone else. Tickets for parked rejects is pretty oppressive on triple decker streets. The part wasn’t even available during the chip shortage.
