Driving with a "Rejected" MVI Sticker
Sunfire03
rejected sticker on it? if the sticker was just placed today, are you
allowed to drive it at all? only to get it repaired? If i get pulled
over, do i get a ticket, do they take the car, do i lose points on my
DL?
The only thing i could find online was that you have 10 days to get it
fixed and return to the same place of inspection to have it inspected
again without charge.
Thanks for your time, I appreciate any info you have (especially if
you have a link to what the regulations are ;) )
Have a good week

The owner or operator of a "rejected vehicle" has 10 days from the
date of rejection to have defects corrected and the vehicle
re-inspected. This does not permit the operation of an unsafe vehicle
during this time. The original inspection station may not charge an
additional inspection fee for re-inspection of rejected items provided
the client returns within the 10 day rejection period.

*** Only to get it repaired, and only if it's safe to drive. Otherwise,
it must be toed to a repair centre.
> If i get pulled over, do i get a ticket,
*** If it's unsafe to drive, yes.
> do they take the car,
*** If it's not road worthy, yes.

*** No one loses points. Licenses start at zero points. You are assessed
points if you commit a "points" offense to a maximum of 10.
