I know this is kind of state by state basis but if my registration is expired and I'm just waiting to get my registration sticker can I still be ticketed?

I have a road trip next weekend and my registration is expired and I won't be able to have a new sticker for atleast 2 weeks.

How did you renew? Did you do it online? If so print all that crap and bring it with you.

 

[llkoolkeg]

Do you have proof of payment? If so, I'd keep that and the registration paperwork in the car to share with Officer Friendly should you get yanked.

This will probably also vary state to state, but you get a month grace period here.

Currently I have expired registration, tax and inspection stickers. I need to get the crap taken care of but have not had the time.

 

[douglas]

you definitely can be ticketed for not having the sticker

I was chased by a state boy while headed up the northway in heavy traffic, thru a construction area, everybody was spending, I didnt have my seatbelt on ..........but I didnt have that damn little sticker on my boat trailer's license plate, and thats all he cared about - he gave me a ticket even thou the trailer was legally registered


I think his wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever wouldnt let him buy a boat so he was punishing everyone else with one

I am 2 month expired. I never got the paperwork in the mail. The only day the DMV is open late is next Wed.

If you get a ticket and can prove you had already sent in the renewal when you got the ticket they would probably give you a break in court, depending on the judge.

My road trip will be like 700miles away. I wouldn't want to have to go to court 700miles away.

 

[riderx]

I think the fine here is $250. Sounds like you are screwed if you get pulled over, 2 months is a while.

I may be wrong about this, but if you're going to another state, I don't think there's really anything the other state's cops can do about expired plates.......

yeah my GF always drives my Xterra since her commute is shorter. It's my fault for not looking but I never drive the xterra.

Fawk....

I drove across country with an expired registration. Just don't let your insurance run out...

hahaha - I was 3 months late on my registration this year, and I didn't even have to pay a late fee??? so nuts, and i KNow there were cops on my butt a couple of times looking closely at my tags, but I never got pulled over.

I don't think another state's cop will pull you over unless you're doing something obviously wrong in your car..at which point that just becomes a nice little extra "tip" for the PD.

werd. in NC, we can pull you over for an out of state expired tag but we can't write a citation on it.
for the most part, pulling people over for expired reg. is just a reason to stop and hopefully get something bigger out of it like suspended license, no insurance, DWI or drugs. if i pull someone for being expired they just get a warning unless i find something bigger to write for. that's probably how i get over half of my good busts is from simple stuff like that.

also, it's hard enough memorizing the year/month stickers in this state...i don't even look at out of state tags, too confusing. just fyi

I was thinking that when I move out of state, I could just tear off my registration tags when I get there before I get a new plate...oh yes

Next Wed.? What about tonight?

have a meeting with my architecture group. I would have changed it had I known about wed being their late day. I didn't know till I was at work today.

 

[TreeSaw]

Sounds like you may need to dress like a woman, and flirt heavily when you get pulled over Of course, this won't go over so well with a female office so, you may be screwed
