Consumer Description

THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM IS VISIBILITY OUT THE WINDSHIELD EITHER BECAUSE OF HOW THE WINDSHIELD IS SHAPED OR BECAUSE OF THE POSITION OF THE WEST VIRGINIA INSPECTION STICKER PLACEMENT IN THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. MY WIFE IS 5'3" AND I'M 5'8" TALL AND THE INSPECTION STICKER CLEARLY CREATES A VISUAL SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED WV DMV ABOUT HIS SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE WV STATE POLICE. THE STATE POLICE SAY THE STATE LAW REQUIRES THE INSPECTION STICKER BE PLACE IN THE LOWER LEFT OF THE WINDSHIELD. I CONTACTED OUR STATE SENATOR AND HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. THE LAW SHOULD BE CHANGED. THE WAY CHEVROLET DESIGN AND MANUFACTURED THE WINDSHIELD DOES MAKE WHERE THE INSPECTION STICKER IS PLACE BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. IF ANY STICKERS OF SUCH SIZE ARE PLACED ON THE LOWER LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, THEY BECOME AN ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW THE BEST WAY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE; HOWEVER, WILLFUL IGNORANCE OR NEGLECT IS WRONG. SAFETY MUST COME FIRST. I THINK THE WV STATE LAW IS OBSOLETE FOR NEW VEHICLES WITH WINDSHIELDS OF THIS SHAPE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO HELP US, PLEASE REFER US TO SOMEONE THAN CAN. THANKS
