Anyone here ever forget to renew your license plates?

I had the $75 ticket, then paid the $50 late fee on top of the already ridiculously high Boulder County registration fees. That was it, no court date. It was one week after they expired, I completely forgot about ordering them. Hope it works out well for your wife. I think the mandatory court dates are more designed to catch repeat offenders and people that are knowingly driving without registration for long periods of time. They will probably drop the charges like TFOGGER if you have proof of insurance and new tags in time for the court date.

Same here.. don't remember how much the ticket was or if I paid a late fee or not..

Don't try to blame them for not sending the renewal, its up to you to be on top of when your tags expire.

I used to write that citation 5-10 times a week. Always advised the person to renew immediately and go to the court date and show it. They were always dismissed.

Was your wife "driving" or "traveling?" There are some really interesting sources on the Interwebz that state that you, the individual, the settler, and the agent do not have to register your vehicle if you are traveling.



Get to the DMV and register the car. Take proof to the court appearance and all should be well. Remember this time next year and the state gives you a 30 day grace period

I think it's $100 max on the tags.. for the past due.. I'm pretty sure they capped it.

Correct

Thanks all, I appreciate the info.

Yikes! I have my calendar on my computer set up to remind me, 30 days before the due date.

Never got caught... I seriously missed a whole year on my pickup that is a daily driver. Still paid 2 years worth of registration. State got their money...ohhh well.

I'd say tell teh truth... "forgot, registered right away, ooops, sorry 'your honor' it will not happen again."
