Some People just dont get it...For whatever reason you are pulled over. The DRIVER is responsible. whether they knew the tag was expired or not it is there repsponsiblity. I have heard it all before. I give a week before I issue citations for expired tag. I got one the other day that had expired in april. and I know times are ruff Heck I had to borrow the money to get mine before. But tags are just like Insurance. You got to have them to drive on the road.
