The small Sunoco station where I get inspected doesn't have many choices for the inspector to be out of veiw, unless one wants to hang out by the restrooms or the dumpster. I try not to hover or get in their way.
I took my latest 240D in for inspection this week.
When he was done, I advised the inspector before he backed the car out, to push the driver's door-lock down before turning off the key. He let me back it out!

Happy Motoring, Mark
