    just an idea...but if your cell phone has a scheduler function, just put a reminder in a week or 2 in advance of expiry date

    If you got a ticket the day it expired and you take care of it that day, they'll often waive or reduce the fine if you show a receipt for the inspection and contest the ticket.

    It's true, even the day after. I did it.

    It would make a good photoshop project

    I don't think the 55 bucks (or whatever it is now- I got rid of my car years ago) is worth the potential felony charge.

    um yeah, no felony capers

    when I did it, all I had to do was send in the proof of registration and it was dropped. The time I actually went in to kangaroo court to fight a charge, it was a nightmare. The grudge did not allow me to speak; very weird.

    I am so glad I gave up on cars, even with the tempting beach season approaching

    My photoshop is pretty bad, but it's not a felony -- geesh you sound like my boss
