You can avoid being pulled over by having valid tags (which means your car passes safety and is registered where you live). Having valid tags does not prevent police from pulling you over. -- John Carr ) |

Insurance and driver's license are okay. How can you insure a car with expired plates? In Massachusetts you must get insurance before registering a car and may not cancel an insurance policy without proof that the car is no longer registered. As a matter of public policy, the state considers having some unregistered cars insured to be better than having some registered cars uninsured. My insurance would also cover me if I were driving an unregistered vehicle as a temporary replacement for mine. -- John Carr ) |

It's doubtful the cops have every state's tags memorized. It actually shouldn't be that hard. Consider New Jersey - they stopped providing registration stickers in 2004. Many people are driving around with tags that appear to have expired in 2004, but in reality they are completely legal. So hey, go for it. Right! Always encourage lawbreaking. And I guess you always drive under the speed limit, right? |

Doesn't Louisiana use renewal stickers? (I thought all 50 states did?) West Virginia only uses a renewal sticker indicating the year. The month is indicated by the first alphanumeric character of the license plate (1 - 9, O, N, D). Assuming that the officer doesn't know about that system, one could practically get away with not renewing registration for almost a year (assuming one's registration expired Jan 1, 2006 and they were driving around with a 2006 sticker in late December). I'm still not sure how they determine the month for custom plates. |

Unless they're literally bringing up license plate info as they drive around "just for the fun of it"... Driving down the road punching in plates often leads to interesting findings. I used to do it all the time. |

And I guess you always drive under the speed limit, right? I gather you see no difference between slightly exceeding the speed limit and driving without a valid registration or insurance. Both the same scope of offense, right? |
