Got pulled over by a very nice state trooper on the way home. I say very nice, because she was very friendly, but also because she didn't ticket me for tabs that expired in ~MAY~.
~shrugs~ I plumb forgot!
Heh, my sister got ticketed by a cop once... we bought the car in November and didn't realize the tags ran out in March. Glad it wasn't me!
Dang! She was nice! I got stopped in NJ once for expired license plates. I had never received the notice, and I just didn't think about it. I had both my older kids in the car, and they were 4 and 1 yrs. old at that time. I was in a parking lot at the time, and that trooper wouldn't even let me drive the car to our house which was less than mile away!! I even suggested he follow me to make sure I didn't go anywhere else!! Left me stranded with the two little kids at a shopping center! I was so angry I burst into tears when I called SSQ to come pick us up! It's a good thing he wasn't out of town on a trip or something! I'm STILL angry about it, 20 years later!! Law or no law, you don't need to treat people like that!!
I had to drive over an hour to pick our older son up just a couple of weeks ago because of the same thing!! His notice had been sent to his old address, and hadn't made it to our house with mail forwarding before the thing expired. And we hadn't noticed the sticker, either. We possibly could have done the re-registration FOR him because his car was HERE the whole time he was in France!! He was less lucky because they TOWED his car, and he not only had to pay the fine for the overdue registration, but he also had to pay a $50 tow fee!
