Inspection Station by hjbenson

Inspection Station

One of my favorite activities :) Bringing the cars in for their biannual inspection. It wasn't to bad today only a little over a 1/2 hour wait.
Great capture

Sounds like a good time, Harry! Nice pic!

We have to do this annually but ours is never bad at all. Maybe it's just we live in a small town.

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, they had me captured for a while
@orangecrush Thank you Jerry, had my book, a water bottle, and my camera - not that bad
@angievega Thank you Angie, down in South Jersey it isn't that bad; in other parts I hear of 3 - 4 hours wait.
@highway266 Thank you Ted, anything they can charge you for they will find a way

State run facility?

I love how different states do the same things so differently. I guess that's what makes things interesting.

This would be dry humor! Glad you didn't have long to wait. Thx for your sweet comment about me at "work". I wish this was my work!

@wac Thank you Wendy, really enjoyed your photos while in England, I have never been there, yet

Ugh. I hate inspection day. But this actually looks a lot prettier than our inspection stations!

We don't have to do that but I took my car in for service a couple of weeks ago and they did an inspection. I like the clouds above the station. They enhance the texture of the brick.

Something that we don't have to do although it would probably be a good idea

@bkbinthecity Thank you, it used to be every year now every other and they read the computer chip in your car so it goes a lot faster

This reminds me that I need to do that soon. I'm always happy when the line is short.

At least you had the good sense to not wait until the end of the month to take yours in, like *someone* around here did. Wound up sitting in my car in 90+ degree heat for over an hour. You got lucky!

@vernabeth Thank you Beth, better to do it during the middle of the month when the lines are shortest
@sourkraut Thank you Lina, it pays to be lucky - if the line was to long I was going to turn around and go home

Our station used to have a helpful little sign out front that would tell you about how long the wait would be. For some reason they took it down, which is a shame because it's not always easy to tell from the line.

Blue sky! :o

@naomi Thank you Naomi, an hour later we received two inches of rain
July 20th, 2011  
@sourkraut Thank you Lina, we used to have a sign also plus markers along the line telling you in half hour intervals how long it would take
July 20th, 2011  
i hate those inspections , but i like your pic :)
July 20th, 2011  
@tralo29 Thank you Tracey, I dislike them a lot - don't want to take my blood pressure during that time
July 20th, 2011
