    Where in IL?

    I've been roadside inspected in WY, OK, CT, etc.. but never 3 times in a week!

    That sucks.

    Did they give you your sticker at least??

    I was on I80 in WY, eastbound, between Rawlins and Walcott and for some reason attracted the attention of a WY state trooper who did a roadside, (passed), in Avon CT on rte 10, and got DOT'd by an Avon cop who was sitting on the side and zeroed in on me as I went by, was directed to the State equipment garage, where I was inspected, etc..

    But three times in one week?

    YIKES!!

    I got three in one week and passed all three. It made me happy because I got $50 for each passed inspection. The third one in KY I got a sticker.

    Then you might go a year and not get one. It's just luck of the draw.
