can I get fined for this?

I have a Honda with a registration month of July. It's now August but DMV has
yet to send me the renewel sticker. Should I continue to wait or do I have to
go to the DMV for a duplicate? Would it cost extra $?

In the meantime, what should I do to make sure my car isn't fined? Tape the
cancelled check to the windshield? steal my neighbor's and sticking it on my
plate? (j/k.... but my neighbor did steal it off my car once.)

 

That would depend upon what part of the world you are in. Here in
California as long as you are in the computer, you're fine as all they want
is the money. However, if you are in Singapore you will be caned, and in
Saudi Arabia, beheaded with a sword.

HTH!

How should we know? Where the hell ARE you?
That makes a lot of difference with respect to what you should do.

Sorry. CA.

 

hahahah,

How about Thailand, where they put you away for the rest of your life.

I think the penalty is that you are kicked off the governor recall
ballot.

 

Actually, I think it's that you are put ON the governor recall ballot, and
have to arm-wrestle "Ah-nuld". ;-/

 

Lock your car in a garage and don't touch it until you have the sticker.

 

Cool! Can I watch?

 

call the DMV and see what's up. They may have screwed up.
if they got your payment, but haven't sent you a sticker, a wise police
officer should be able to look it up, or believe your story and you should
be okay.

 

That's what is going to be your worse problem...being stopped. If you
put your canceled check in th eback window, that is just going to
cause more attention to you and will have a greater chance of being
stopped.

Carrying a copy of your canceled check should be pretty persuasive.

 

That causes more trouble than it's worth. In Oklahoma, I got my
reminder on May 3rd for my May sticker, sent in the check the same
day, got it cashed on May 16th, but still hadn't gotten the sticker on
June 4th. Fortunately, Oklahoma and most other states have a one month
grace period. However, when I called the DMV, I was told I needed a
VIN inspection since I had an out-of-state title, which is odd since
I've had the car registered here for 3 years. I went to the tag
agency, and they told me that since I had lost my sticker, they could
sell me another one for $16. I said I'm not paying twice for something
I never even had once, and called the DMV from in front of the
building. They put me on hold for 30 minutes after I told them that
SOMEONE was doing something wrong, and I hung up. I got the sticker
two days later.
