Safety Check Scam?

[birdmove]

My daughter let her safety sticker expire by accident. She was thinking that she would get a notice from the state when it was due. But, her tags expire in a different month than her safety sticker. The stick expired at the end of July. She got a $70 ticket Sunday after leaving the MaKuu Market. Since she works M-F I offered to call around this morning and try to find someone to do the inspection. Could not get Bob's on Ilima to answer the phone even after 9:00. Called Wally's and got an appointment today at 4:00, the only opening they had today. Nice folks there at Wally's. I wish the cop would have just gave her a warning. It's her first ticket in almost 5 years of living here, and she is a very careful driver. I asked at Wally's if they do motorcycles and scooters, and they do not. I've been going to Stan's Quick Lube in Hilo with our Toyota and our two scooters. He now goes by appointment only too. I used to just drop in and usually he'd get right on it.
