The inspector has 3 options when it comes to picking a repair option. "Motorist Repaired"., Facility Repaired". and "Not Repaired." What he did would would work, but thats not the point. (or right) On the previous system if it was over 45 days you wouldnt even need paperwork. It would be a full insp and he would never ask for it.
The button is definitely cool. Unfortunately like most things mentioned in this post, it depends on the inspector. Until now each PIF has had a copy of "the blue book". Basically the holy bible of NJ inspections. It contains all the information on what passes, and what fails. Since we got online with the new system, the state has decided to upload the "blue book' online, and no longer use a printed copy. This lets them save some money, and always update it, whenever they want.
Knowledge is power guys and gals. The constantly updated PIF manual is located here:

This manual covers everything down to the proper size of a NJ state insurance card. Use this whenever you have a question, and use it to hold your ground of a ignorant parsons employee tells you different at a state lane.
Hope it helps!
