The place I get inspections done doesn't even have a computer. I failed inspection at the audi dealer for a broken ball joint, so I took it to a private shop that didn't know the first thing about audi's and he passed it no questions asked.
the 45 days does not excempt you from getting a citation. once your sticker is expired(expires on the last day of the month idicated) the police can issue you a citation at his discretion. the 45 days is just a courtesy that when you return for inspection they will only check whatever it was you failed for in most cases.
the way the law is written is that you can go for inspection up to two months prior to what is on the windshield. so if you have a 10(october) of 2008(yellow sticker) on the windshield you can come through as early as the first of 8(august) and if you fail you would then have up to 60 days to legally to fix the vehichle(you still have 45 days for the reinspection policy..after that you would recieve an initial full inspection) but once november 1st rolls around you can be cited at the officers discretion. if you have a rejection the citation would be "failure to make repairs". the state figures that by giving you a 2 month window that is plenty of time to make the repairs and that is why you can be cited in november. most people choose to inspect their vehichles during the month they are due and then there 45 days carries them into november or sometimes even december and they think they are excused from citation but there not, it is up to the officer if they want to cut them a brake.
so basically the law is you must pass inspection by the last day of the month that the car is due. the law is not try to pass on october 31st and if you fail you have 45 days and then come back on the 45th day and fail agian and get 45 more days which most people try to do
also: the computer does keep track of the failure for 45 days. when you return within the 45 days it will automatically pop up what you failed for. after that the state run facilities can get a reprint of last very last inspection from the office regardless of the 45 days or not. and all inspection places have computers. the entire inspection is performed and recorded on the computer and the white insert of the sticker is a printout and not a drawing
