Foxtrot, that's interesting... can you display the math on that? I would like to see what you mean by the numbers.

I think foxtrot is right. Fine caps out at 100 bucks.

Ironic, isn't it. CO registration has reached the point that its more of a punishment to pay it than to be ticketed.

What if you get a ticket and car towed?

Also what about late fees?

The thought crossed my mind.

I went in thinking it was $10/month, $100 max.

Well, being the nice guy that I am, I proceeded to tell them they are blind and need their vision checked because I know my plates are not expired.

I got home and was having some lunch (while thinking how stupid they were), went outside and looked at my plates then went back inside to look at my paperwork and sure as shit, they been past due for 8 months! OOPS!!!

What pissed me off most is that if I intentionally were to do something like that, I wouldn't have made it a week before I'd get pulled over! Cant tell ya how many times cops were behind me during that time and never got stopped! Go figure!

Twice? In Co? It's $100 max.

The part that gets me is that you can still get a ticket for expired tags. If you're charging me a fee for not being current, then how do you double whammy me on a ticket? Either dont charge the fee and I risk getting a ticket or charge me the fee and don't give out the tickets.

CDOT states they take in just enough money to do upkeep on the existing roads. We have not raised gas taxes in CO in years. More vehicles getting better mileage and paying less gas taxes bla bla bla. But billions of dollars for trains that take more vehicles off the roads that results in less gas taxes.....

Too much $$$ Fed gas taxes going to DC instead of staying in the states where it was generated.

Got three cars due for tags this month.....and two of them are lucky to get out of the garage anymore....think I'm not gonna reg those two until next spring....

Can we suspend reg like you can with insurance on not daily driven vehicles?

I got used to worrying about tags when I would get the postcard for renewal in the mail. When I PCSed out of Colorado to Maryland 20 years ago, I just didn't think about it as I'd sent in my change of address as soon as I got to Maryland and got updated paperwork. Months go by and I noticed one morning on the way to work that a state trooper was following me through town. I wasn't concerned about it since I wasn't speeding and chalked it up to coincidence until the flashing lights came on. It seems the trooper was just waiting (he followed me for about 3 miles!) for me to exit the town and enter a state highway so the fine went from $50 to $300 -- and oh yeah, Colorado charged me for $100 late registration when I contacted them about the plate renewal.
