Pulled Over

We were late leaving the house this morning, so I was in a rush. Right by the school I guess I was doing 42 in a school zone of 20. Oops! I saw the cop there in the parking lot. First one I saw there this year, and of course I was speeding. He let me drop the boys off and then I guess he thought I was going to turn right but I went left so I saw him turn around and come for me so I just pulled over. I gave him all my info and he said, running a little late today? I laughed and said, "Yeah, a little." When he came back he told me my plates expired yesterday!!!! GOOD GRIEF!!! He said, "Can you get them renew today or tomorrow?" I said, "Sure, no problem." He said, "Good, thanks." and walked away?!?!?!?! Okay, I guess I wasn't getting a ticket for anything??? YEAH!!!!! I could have gotten slammed! I wonder if he knew the last name? I have gotten off before because the cops all seem to know the family. Well, what ever the reason, I'm glad I didn't get a ticket! Yes, I will be slowing down from now on.

I did get my plates renewed and I got them renewed for 2 years! I had no idea you could do that. My friend Elizabeth told me about that while I was there waiting for them to call my number. So, I'm good till 2010! Thanks Elizabeth!!!

I didn't know license plates expire! Is that an Ohio thing??

In Ohio, you have to renew your "plates" which is really renewing your registration and getting stickers for your plates. You have to put a new sticker on your plate every year, but I got stickers good till 2010. It could be an Ohio thing. I don't remember if we had to do that in Florida or not. Do you renew your registration ever?

Yes. Every year I have buy a registration sticker. It SUX. You'd think getting it inspected would be enough. The registration sticker thing is the DMV's way of making money and that's it, imo.
