The problem lies in the part that states:
"Contact the motor vehicle authorities in that state. Determine if an expired out-of-state inspection is a violation of motor vehicle law in that state."
and
" When you receive your extension sticker:
•Do not put the extension sticker on your windshield while your vehicle is out of state.
•Keep the sticker and the instructions in your vehicle to show to an out-of-state police officer.
•The sticker is not a guarantee that a police officer will not issue a traffic ticket."
I can just see me now asking Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania if I am legal and if not trying to reroute so I do not pass through the state. I know the odds are slight that I will be stopped but I do not relish a quick trip back to New York with an expired sticker. I would not be comfortable stopping and smelling the roses as they say. Not to mention the cost 3400 miles round trip at 8 miles per gallon is about 425 gallons of gasoline times the cost equals an easy $1000.
