I have been harping on this subject recently, but I am not done yet. It's no joke. About a year ago I got stopped by a cop for expired stickers. Virginia requires three car stickers -- one (two, actually) for registration, one for safety inspection, and one for city registration. Two of my three stickers had expired. I can't remember which two, but I know I was out of compliance. I was also not wearing a seat belt. In theory, the cops here can't write you up for not wearing a seat belt unless you are also doing something else...
