While I might have covered the majority of procedural and technical issues, Jay's words of advice and wisdom could make the difference between pass and fail.

With all the integrity problems in the State and the legal problems with emissions testing and fradulent licenses, the DMV operates under a microscope.

The front line DMV inspectors did not write the rules and regulations, even though we may disagree and determine they are unrealistic. If there are gray areas where discretion is allowed, a positive approach goes a long way, sometimes easier to say than follow.

In my case, the Anti-Theft inspectors were extremely professional, explained each step along with the why's and took great care when affixing the VIN tag.
