    Usually on the inspection report, it will have a check block where it says OOS violation, it should say yes or no. You would need a mechanic to sign off the inspection report after repairs. Did you do that?

    You know you are not screwed, it is something that happens and it will not stop you.

    Just remember it is better to get this than to have a blowout and having a serious accident.

    Don’t let some of these guys rattle you about being ashamed you didn’t know you had a flat or low tire. That puncture coulda happened a mile before you got to the scale or maybe you picked up one of the nails from the box the dot spread out across the scale house entrance that morning before they opened.
    Point being not all punctures are “slow” leaks over a certain time frame that you should have had been able to find.
