PURPOSE: This amendment modifies section (3),
clarifying acceptable locations at which the decal may be affixed on a
motorcycle, and adds acceptable location at which the decal may be affixed on
an autocycle.
(1) An
inspection sticker or decal shall be issued immediately following an inspection
or reinspection if the vehicle meets the inspection requirements. The sticker
or decal shall immediately be properly affixed to the vehicle by the
inspector/mechanic who performed the inspection or reinspection.
(2) When an inspection sticker is issued, the
inspector/mechanic shall validate the sticker by punching the month and the
year that the inspection was performed and by legibly writing the information
asked for on the reverse side of the inspection sticker. Previous inspection
stickers affixed to the windshield shall be removed. The inspector/mechanic
shall affix the current inspection sticker on the inside of the vehicle's
windshield in the lower left-hand corner. On motor vehicles not equipped with a
windshield, the inspector/mechanic shall issue a properly validated inspection
decal and affix it to the vehicle's dash or steering column.
(3) Location for placement of decals.
(A) When an inspection decal is issued for a
motorcycle, it shall be affixed in an upright position on the left side of the
steering fork sleeve at a visible location near the slider tube. When such
location is not available, the decal shall be affixed in an upright position to
the frame in a visible location on the front left side of the
motorcycle.
(B) When an inspection
decal is issued for an autocycle, it shall be affixed in an upright position to
the left front corner of a glass windshield. If any autocycle is not equipped
with a glass windshield, the decal will be affixed in an upright position at a
visible location on the left front frame or on the driver's side
rollbar.
(4) Stations
which do not punch the correct month and year issue inspection sticker or decal
shall be required to remove the sticker or decal from the vehicle and affix a
properly validated inspection sticker or decal to the owner's vehicle without
charge.
(5) Stations will issue
inspection stickers or decals from only one (1) book at a time, starting with
their lowest numbered book.
(6) All
covers from used books of both stickers and decals will be retained by the
inspection station.
(7) Inspection
stickers or decals issued to an inspection station can be used only by that
station.
