I think if I encountered an inspector that didn't know how to drive a 3 on the tree I would just say it's time to learn, I'll show you. It only takes 5 minutes to get used to it.

No, this happened yesterday (Wed.). I had my daily driver inspected Wed morning and that's when he told me he was going to be off Thanksgiving and be back Monday. I guess I didn't make that clear in the sentence.
Re. the teaching a person to drive it, I did just that at one of the inspection stations. The young guy said he would inspect it if I showed him how to drive it. I stepped him through the "H" pattern and showed him the hi/lo beam foot switch. When he reached for the seat belt he said he couldn't pass it without a shoulder strap. I then had to explain that only lap belt was required on this old trucks but he insisted. I just told him I'd find some place else. Didn't feel like the hassle was worth it.
And, that's why I go to this one station. No hassles, the guy knows the requirements and not too many cars to wait for since it's in the outskirts of town.
