lol, some good stories here! i dont feel so bad.
here is my story...
got my plates and my stickers. when it came time to renew, i instead got vanity plates. while those were been made i moved across town. my new vanity plates where mailed to my old address and bounced to the local dmv office. this caused a delay. in the end i rushed to the office to get my plates before i would be driving illegally. in the dmv parking lot i took off my plates and put the new ones on without switching the sticker or getting a new one. i am not customed to putting reg stickers on plates so it never crossed my mind in all the excitement in getting to the dmv at the last minute.
and so i have driven nearly a year, across county twice, through border checkouts and getting pulled over all without my sticker on my plate. furthermore, at some point i lost my registration paper as well. the border police and the state trooper didnt mind. they called in to check.
wow.
well, yesterday i went to pick up proof of registration so i can fetch my truck. i was not able to simply do that. my registration has been suspended since september due to insurance lapse. $250 fine.
i think i will be able to get a ride thurday or friday to pick up my truck. ~$320.
i better get back to work!
