in CA, if you dont reg. your vehicle - they give you a big piece of paper with a huge red 8 (august) or 9 (september).
its like a TEMP. REG. so that po po cant pull you over.
they still do tho, they always say, OH - I COULDNT SEE IT IN YOUR BACK WINDOW.
my plates expired in June. i have a suspended Drivers Licence, & no INSURANCE but i have to get to work, so what do they expect us to do?
