Virginia owners are required to have a state inspection sticker at the bottom edge of the windshield, near the center.

Be aware that if it's dead-center, its shadow is blocking the sunlight sensor from direct sunlight, and might cause erratic cabin temperature fluctuations.

When my vehicle inspection is due, I will make certain that the sticker be moved far enough to the passenger side so that it doesn't throw a shadow.

I respectfully request that this thread not become a drawn-out discussion of the merits/horrors of state inspection stickers. Thanks.

Ed,

I have the same concern and we're going to request that the inspection guy offset the sticker to the passenger's side just enough to clear the ambient light sensor.

I recommend visiting Jim up at the Sunoco station on Lee Highway and Harrison... really good guy!

Enlighten me, what is the difference between a Commonwealth and state sticker?
