Its official.... Im SPECIAL

It's official.... I'm SPECIAL

That's right, the breaking new in NJ is that I am now special... In what regard you ask Well today I went to have my 86 Mercedes diesel inspected for next year. After handing over all the paperwork and license, the worker asked what year is this car. Once I said 1986, she told me I am exempt from future state inspections from the NJDOT.. Seems that all passenger diesels prior to 1996 are now exempt. All that is required is a self inspection I know I keep my car maintained, now I have to worry about those that don't

At first I felt a bit of relief and asked the attendant for an exemption sticker. Guess what? The state doesn't have one of those to offer. Now I am getting a bit concerned because my car will either have
A- No window inspection sticker
B- Will be sporting an expired inspection sticker

Either will be a good reason to draw the attention of the local and state police. Now I go the the inspection station office and voice my concern about the possibility of being pulled over 10 miles. All they had was a copy of the new regulation, which I now carry in the car along with all the other papers. I asked why doesn't the NJDOT at least make an exemption sticker. All I got from this yokel was

My next move was to the county police department to voice this concern. I had the watch commander come out and I showed him the new regulations. I told him my concern wasn't only in being stopped every few miles, but I was also putting the officer who is stopping me at risk. The last thing officers want to make is a traffic stop; that's where many bad things happen. Besides, it has the potential of putting himself at risk just to see I am operating under the law. The watch commander agreed that I have a valid point and now I will have to take it up with the NJDOT

You know me well enough to know that I will follow through on this matter. As a matter of fact, I have no problem in telling the head of the NJDOT to clean out his desk, because I'll do his job starting next week I wonder how many brain cells must be damaged before you can rise that high in state jobs

"It's official.... I'm SPECIAL"

You just figured that out? All along we knew you were special.

Re: It's official.... I'm SPECIAL

Well, I have already made a call to the NJDOT and asked to speak to the Commissioner James Simpson. I really had to bite my tongue in not asking if he were of any relation to Homer Simpson. I was now given the number for the Commissioner of the NJDMV...

I guess these agencies don't talk to each other. I have been on hold here with the DMV for several minutes and will try them later.

Special?...."special needs" maybe!

Cars in the UK over 26 years old (i think) are road tax exempt. This means they don't have to display a road tax disc in the windscreen. Our cops know by the registration plate year how old a car is. Simple eh?

Re: It's official.... I'm SPECIAL

I've been running in circles with the DMV most of the day. I got so dizzy, I finally sat down, before I fell down. It is a serious issue that I have raised with these pack of idiots, with a major concern for safety. I for one don't drink and drive.. I prefer getting the drinking out of the way earlier in the night.

It would be so easy to resolve and cheaper than issuing new plates. Just give me a golden Exempt sticker I can display in my windshield.

And yes, I am a special needy person

Re: It's official.... I'm SPECIAL

Well, I got my reply from the DMV and I strongly disagree with their findings.
Thank you for your e-mail inquiry. The MVC will not be issuing exempt decals
for diesel vehicles. Law enforcement has been provided with an advisory as to
which type of vehicles need inspection stickers and which do not.

Regards,
Mary
NJ Motor Vehicle Commission


Now it's time to call up all the news programs and report this stupid idea they are perpetrating on the public. I bet these officers have a keen eye to identify all diesel vehicles by their year when a car is passing them at 40-65 mph, on the streets, or highways.

Being stopped is not about an inconvenience, but rather the potential for a disastrous result that may ensue. I just wonder if I'm the only one that sees this problem

Re: It's official.... I'm SPECIAL

Well I have now e-mailed this to several news stations one and right to the governor's office. Let's see if anyone replies.

This is a serious concern, but I do see the humor in the state trying to save a few dollars on stickers. After all, a sticker is way more costly than a life.
