Thread: Monthly vehicle inspections in Virginia in the 80's?

My wife is telling me that she recalls having to pay $1 for monthly vehicle inspections here in Virginia Beach. I find this hard to believe. I've been here since 87 so it would have to of been before that. Anyone know?

I got transfered back here in 75 and I've never heard of monthly inspections.

I've been here since 77 this last time..... never heard of that... was living in Lake Shores back then off Northampton Blvd across from Lake Smith.

Been driving in Va since 70, used to be 6 month requirement then, think it was $2.00. As a side note employer's insurance did our DMV record check last week, asked if it was realy true that I've nver had a moving violation in the 15 years I worked there? I told them I drive an average of 25,000 miles a year for 42 years now and have never had a moving violation!

Yup, how fast did that horse and buggy of your's go, and how did you get around before they invented the wheel?

Walking isn't crowded.. Good for you too..

Never had a buggy but had a couple of TN Walkers that were smooth & could move at a fast pace. Probably too fast for you.

I was also here in the mid 60's but I don't remember the cost. That may be when they started it.

Dang You guys are old!CF

Hey Bill. it looks like I might have to contact my hitman Don.
