What's a point. It is over.

Thanks for the warning
Hope they're back before my sticker expires.
As the Blue Line and Red Line was free to make
As the Blue Line and Red Line were free to make up for the Sumner and 3rd rail snafu, July inspection drivers should not be penalized with a receiving a January 2024 for missing July because the outage happened the week we were in town and were planning to get inspected.
This is a great example of
This is a great example of American drivers being lazy, entitled brats. You have ample time to get inspected. If you chose not to then face the consequences or don’t drive on public roads.
Oh FFS
All drivers aren't evil degenerates. Your shtick is getting tired.
Oh FFS
You still have a nearly 2 weeks to get that inspection sticker. Meanwhile, my husband had no issues renewing our registration from his phone while on the road yesterday afternoon.
Kinopio has a point: the last time I fucked up and didn't do the online renewal in time for my driver's license I blamed one person for the problem: me. It wasn't the registry's fault that I set the notice aside and didn't remember it until 4 days before it expired. It wasn't the RMV's fault that I totally forgot that it was linked with my birthday and birth year. It wasn't the RMV's fault that there were no appointments nearby for weeks and I had to take a vacation day to head two hours out to the only appointment in the state before it expired.
Fortunately, the Easthampton registry is on a bike path and it was a beautiful day. I tossed my bike in the car and made a 30+ mile day of it on the trail network, including lunch in NoHo, and then dropped into Treehouse and they gave me a special birthday glass! So I had a great time despite my screw up.

You wouldn’t get January for just missing July
From the RMV site: “Effective November 1, 2022, motor vehicles passing an inspection will get a new sticker with the month the last sticker expired. If the last sticker expired in a previous month, the new sticker will have that same previous month. If the last sticker expired the previous year, the vehicle will get a January sticker of the current year the vehicle is being inspected, no matter the month the vehicle is inspected.”
In other words, if you’re due in July 2024 but don’t get it until August, you get the same July sticker as if you’d done it when you should have in July. You’d only get January if you were due in 2023 or earlier.

That’s great
That’s great
Thanks! I heard wrong. Phew.
Thanks! I heard wrong. Phew. (That would make for a lot of January inspections.)
Last I checked ...
You have until the end of the month to get that inspection sticker.
Like a whole 10 days.
What the heck are you winging about?
You may have ten days, but
You may have ten days, but not me and I’m sure others. Point is the new sticker requirement is bullshit. Never-mind I stand corrected. Thanks to ST.
Plan better
Don't blame the RMV because you think the world revolves around your unusual and non-credible absentee ownership schedule.
Get it inspected in June if you aren't going to be around. I used to end up travelling for work in much of August so I simply got my car inspected in July, which neatly solved the problem. From then on I was on the July timeframe.
