New York State, in its infi­nite stu­pid­ity, has decided to estab­lish three 10-day win­dows per month for vehi­cle inspec­tions, with the idea that this will pre­vent every­one from wait­ing until the end of the month to get their car inspected. But it won’t, since the date will be set by the time of the month you get your 2006 inspec­tion. In other words, wait until the end of the month and you have all month in 2007 to get the next inspec­tion. Just like it is today.

Part of the prob­lem is the state now requires infor­ma­tion from your car’s com­puter to be sent at the time of the inspec­tion. All that data com­ing at the end of the month seems to be over­whelm­ing their com­put­ers. That data was their idea, of course, so given they have decades of data telling them when cars get inspected, how could they not have antic­i­pated this?
