Helmut -

Check out this site:

http://mva.state.md.us/AboutMVA/INFO/58000-01T.htm

It tells you a lot about Maryland safety inspections.  It is not explicit on
turn signals, just says that you need to have lights inspected.  It also
indicates that you have 30 days to fix the problem if you flunk.  So it's
better to go for the inspection even if you can't get it fixed before
tomorrow, since you can drive for 30 days and 1000 miles after you fail.

:::Alright, I'm running out of days in Sept and booked a MD state inspection
:::for tomorrow. My assistant was riding behind my 90 Carat today and
:::noticed
:::that when I put on the right turn signal, both reverse lights flashed in
:::addition to the turn signal lamp. Left turn signal flashes only the turn
:::signal lamp. Transmission in reverse does not turn on reverse lights. The
:::questions:
:::
:::1. Ground?
:::2. Reverse switch?
:::3. Should it fail inspection for such a charming fault?
