RV inspections

We're in Virginia and had not gotten our 5'ers inspected for quite a few years, primarily due to the inconvenience. Last summer we got a new 2015 Cedar Creek and headed for FL in January, we were stopped by an eagle-eyed state trooper outside Emporia, VA (also a notorious speed trap) who was able to see that we did not have the required sticker on the side of the pinbox. In case a fellow Virginian is wandering, the ticket & fees cost $91. Since then we've found out about a couple of new laws - a garage that does inspections for trailers, motorhomes, etc. has to have an opening tall enough for the unit to drive into AND the garages now are on a quota system where they are only allowed to do 16 inspections per day (total)! Many garages here have given up doing onspections altogether. There should be a law against requiring something and then making it almost impossible to meet the requirement --but then $16 inspection fee vs $91 fine may explain it all.

I've had my 5'er since 2007, and never had it inspected. If inspection is required how come you can renew tags without it? If required, it should flag through DMV...
