Is it true that its a $50 fine for each month the inspection ticket is overdue? Someone told me that and I just found that funny because the car I just bought has a 2004 inspection sticker…Thats an $1800 fine…Its red tho.

this is only if the cop put on the ticket when you inspection was due and yes its true … they will fine you each month dont think its 50… if your ticket just says exp inspection its a ticket anywhere from 0-- like 50ish i have had a bunch of these tickest and once the cop wrote when my insoection was due witch at the time was 15 months and it was a 500 fine with 75 in fees…and then a week later still did not have the car inspected and my wife got pulled over and the cop did not put the date on the ticket we were in and out for 15 bucks… this was all in west seneca

i could be wrong but it did happen to me

Just so you guys know, the words “ticket” and “sticker” are not interchangeable.

So what is this thread about? I would think that a ticket would be like any other ticket, if left long enough a warrant is issued.

Although I think this thread is about someone confusing “inspection” and “registration.” There can be a fine for letting your registration lapse without turning in your plates.

> [@NYS DMV Website](#):

> …If the inspection sticker on a NYS vehicle has expired in the past 60 days, the owner can receive a fine of $25 to $50. If the inspection sticker is expired more than 60 days, the fine is between $50 and $100. If there is no inspection sticker, the fine is between $50 and $100. Mandatory state surcharges of up to $55 are added to the fine…

Bingo. With all non moving violation tickets, the longer you wait to pay or correct the problem, the more expensive they become. Plain and simple.

I just got an expired inspection ticket from the city of Buffalo last week.

From the back of my ticket & what I paid:

$25 fine + $50 fee for under 60 days.  
(I don’t have the ticket with me right now, so I don’t know what 60+ was)

Undisputable for the city of Buffalo also.

:biglaugh:  
I was thinking the same thing - Inspection tickets don’t expire otherwise no one would pay them.😉

If it is issued by the city that is incorrect there is no dropping of it.

Could be different for the different surrounding cities, but I know for fact for city it is not a fix it or reduction ticket.

The ticket is the same no matter what city/town issues the ticket. It is a violation of NYS law so NYS law supersedes local law. The result is the same no matter where you are in NYS.

No fine. Just get it inspected before you get caught.
