Default Safety Inspection

So I am planning on leaving the island by the end of the month and I just got back from a deployment so my registration and safety inspection are expired. I have had my car safety inspected 2 times already and never had any issues, but now am being told that I have to get recon. If anyone knows any place that will inspect my car, since I will only be on island for a few more weeks, without the recon, please pm me. Thanks!

just have insurance on the car. if your leaving at the end of the month just drive around without it. chances are you wont get stopped. plus its going to take a month to get a recon appointment anyway. and registration and saftey ticket will cost you like 200 bucks. and so will getting those tags.

Not even if wheels stick out past the fender cannot pass safety lol that's why moke action trucks need flares and some use generic fender flares

pay the $20 to get a failed safety at any place stating no recon/no registration. Then if you get pulled over you can tell the cop you have a recon appointment and you will go to a satellite city hall "in the next day or so." Even go so far as to schedule a recon appointment for next month, then don't show up. They deserve it they are such a bunch of a pricks, but anyway....

Before you know it you'll be gone and none of it will matter. That $20 for a failed inspection could get you out of a ticket for no recon/safety/reg... just in case you get pulled over. the failed safety is not a guarantee 'no ticket", but it should help just in case.
