Not that I would be aware of. Alabama doesn't inspect cars, so couldn't I get pulled over for "not passing inspection" in a state? I think not!

What is this inspection sticker that you talk of?

Inspection sticker is up. Registration is all good. It's difficult to have it inspected when your home-state is a 1000 miles away.

Not that I know of. Should have gotten it inspected. Takes about 10-15 minutes. Got mine done yesterday.

not sure about your state...but my car is in texas and i can get it inspected in another state as long as their inspection is as strict or more strict than texas's.

I was merrily living in Ocean City, MD for the summer with a wayyyyyy expired PA inspection sticker and never got ticketed/in trouble. So I think you're good.

I was back in Philadelphia for a concert and the 5-0 nailed me for it though. $100 down the drain.

My college roommate was from Minnesota where they don't have state inspections. He brought his MN registered car to Massachusetts, probably one of the most strick inspection states, and never got a ticket for not having an inspection sticker. I dunno if that's because it was never noticed (he was pulled over at least once or twice) or if the cops just never saw it. He seemed to think he was in the clear, and he's a fairly knowledgable guy.
