yep

Drive with the windows cracked, problem solved

the ban is on only those cell phones which are owned/managed by the state, right?

or is the ban on all cell phones state employees operate?

edit: attempting to be clearer

Lol, the newest vehicle I've owned here was a 2006. The laws aren't that strict or unreasonable -- having an honest mechanic can make a big difference.

The state has info about specifically what is/isn't acceptable. Good mechanics will repair things to where they're passable rather than going straight for the parts cannon.

It is 100% not illegal to change locks after a lease has expired and appropriate documentation(by state) has informed them of their expired lease.

You are wrong. The last two places I moved out of had painters and new locks installed as I was moving out

Been waiting two years due to a parts shortage. lol.

There's a statutory exemption from inspections for farm vehicles. My neighbor has a hatchback beater for farm use with an orange reflective triangle attached to the back that he uses to run errands in town for farm supplies and travel between crop sites (wink wink)

So you ran your mouth and expected to have the last word and now you’re complaining about it, congratulations you’re an asshole.

You think exhaust leak is not a serious problem? I do.

Never forget to borrow their retainer, put it back, then leave a note.

Ever consider becoming happy by being disposed of owning property and eating bugs to fight climate change?

Vermont roads aren't car-worthy yet your car must be roadworthy of their car-unworthy roads.

Stop talking back to me asshole.

I suggest people leave. The roads can't handle the giant influx hence the traffic issues and long lines. If everyone that moved here in the last 3yrs left, everything would be fine.

No it's fully dependent on where the vehicle comes from

And a warranty

AKA "Never-ending road/bridge work."

I don't think the mechanic is being unreasonable here. Some will enforce the standards, no matter how stringent and others might pass where some wouldn't. I wish I had checked around at garages before getting my car inspected.

A large amount of underneath rust will also fail a car. I've tried to look into undercoating but I've heard it's worth getting done if just to be able to pass. I had a truck that failed nearly 10 years ago for too much rust.

Drive it till you get pulled over but there's such a shortage of cops that may not happen. I'm 2 years deep in my winter beater and I haven't had an issue. If you do get pulled over, you can tell the cop you're waiting on a part to come in to get inspected. They'll most likely give you a warning (it's worked for me twice).

Do not change the locks on someone who had legal residence at a place.

It is illegal and the courts will look poorly on you.

The tenant can also call the sherriff/police and have them break down the door and you as the landlord are required to get a new door and lock for them.

There is one legal way to evict someone, and the courts will look down poorly on any other attempts.

However, If the tenant vacates ( shows good evidence they've moved out of the property/ no longer intend to inhabit it) then you can change the locks on them.

You must securely store their property for up to 30 days I think and allow them to retrieve it. You can charge a reasonable storage fee.

There are so many limitations in Vermont

You know, if I hadn't just found a job, I'd seriously consider it

I mean if you're good enough at being a mechanic, get a job at a shop and get an inspection license so you can just slap your own sticker on whatever you think is safe and have it be your liability.

I guarantee his leak was way worse than mine. And I'm not an idiot when it comes to cars. I just had it up on a lift at a friends place checking it all over. It's all fine

No. But if they have a job or ever leave the house, the locks can be changed quite quickly. Then its VT. Sit outside with your bong and your gun, and wait
