Uninspected vehicles can get you a ticket, whether you're driving or not

Inspection stickers are displayed in the windshield for everyone to see, but sometimes the driver is the last one to realize that the car is due for another one. Whether you’re on the move or parked your car on a public road, you can get a ticket for an uninspected vehicle.

The fine for violation 306(b) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law is the same whether the vehicle is parked or in motion, starting from $138.00. The difference is whether it’s considered a parking ticket or a zero-point moving violation.

The best time to get your car inspected is before the sticker expires, but it’s not uncommon to miss that date. If you have gotten a ticket for an uninspected vehicle, call Selby Legal to get a free consultation about your prospects.
