This is in MA. Is this a common thing or do only some insurance companies do this?

You mean inspection sticker? Never heard of insurance going up for that

chipstar-32

me either, but you can definitley get a ticket for it

Solaris

I know, it's just unreasonable for insurance to go up over a document. No claim, no increase

There has to be some mistake...either they assigned points when they shouldn't have, they assigned points for another violation (possibly out of state), or MA has some wierd legislation that allows insurance companies to rape people like this.

Neo1

Yeah, inspection sticker. He's suppose to call, I'll keep you guys updated. Sounds like BS to me too

In MA a ticket for a missed inspection counts as a moving violation... and therefore points.

RKA

Legislators have a nack for creating this kind of muck! I doubt you would see any of the other 49 states (except maybe CA) interpret the condition of the vehicle as a moving violation. Furthermore, the point system is largely used in determining insurance premiums...it's quite a stretch to correlate an expired inspection to driving habits, and the likelihood that the insurance company would have to pay out more to insure that particular driver.
