Expired tags usually means expired registration, expired registration usually means expired insurance, in my profession. No insurance means financial burden and loss for anyone hit by someone with lapsed plates, registration, and insurance. Someone hits a pedestrian, bicyclist, motorist, or their property with expired tags, registration, no insurance then you'll have an understanding as to why this is in place. Then you'll be asking why this law wasn't in place. There's ZERO reason why ANY car should be on the road with you with expired tags, registration, insurance.

He only pays when they take his income tax or drops $50 in there and promises to start paying to get his licenses back or stay out of jail. And another thing is his daughter is just like him. She has cost me thousands in truancy cost, stealing and other expenses because she wont listen but I am still there for her because one day she will straighten up and reflect on how hard it was for a man to raise a child that is not his.She will appreciate it eventually.

It Arizona I put my car in storage when I was traveling and the state took away my registration without notifying me, so I'm pulled over and inconvenienced for tags I've paid for but were withdrawn. Apparently, the insurance company reports when you remove insurance for storage, but the driver is supposed to notify DMV or MVD - since the driver is left out of the process and not notified by anyone, this is poorly managed. It took 5 mos. to correct the situation and most people are unable to get it corrected I'm told by someone working for the court - it's like stealing money from good citizens by creating a paper jungle and not notifying anyone - these laws are insane and not properly executed.

@dennishassler6053 жыл бұрын
@@Emilthehun Apparently, they pass a law the insurance company has to notify them, but they don't have to notify the insured who changed the insurance for storage. Then, the DMV should notify the insured when you start driving the car, but they don't notify anyone. In AZ. the DMV saves on postage and doesn't notify even when the tags expire. I guess they extend that "savings" on other notifications, too, because I never got any notice they were cancelling my registration - not for it expiring, but because they are thinking maybe somebody doesn't have insurance - they should check with the insurance company prior to canceling, maybe? And the insured should be informed. The computer age allows monitoring, but they don't have the system working properly. AND, worse, a clerk at the court says "these letters are very difficult to get" when you prove you have had full liability insurance the entire time = so they are apparently cheating good citizens out of $500 fines because they do not provide letters even if they PROVE they were always covered.

You can also renew on line, and you can even do it through an automated machine at many grocery stores. You gain nothing by dragging your feet. If you are 2 months expired, then your new tag is only good for 10 months. At some point, they also assess late fees upon renewal.
