With my luck, I'd get pulled over and ticketed for driving on       expired temporary tags...I see these all the time.               When I sold cars a couple of lifetimes ago (1976-78) it was just filling       out a form for a new temp tag, or a renewed one for some reason.        But I saw cars with months old expired plates all the time when in       parking. Cops around here seldom stop anyone for that. It was more a       secondary       offence.        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fido Since 1991 | QWK by Web | BBS.FIDOSYSOP.ORG (1:123/140)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 18/0 200 19/36 90/1 105/81 106/201 116/18       SEEN-BY: 116/116 120/302 340 457 123/0 10 25 35 40 115 126 131 140       SEEN-BY: 123/150 160 170 180 190 257 755 124/5016 129/305 135/300       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 218/700 220/80 90 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/6 222/2 226/30 227/114 201 702 229/101 424 426 428 452       SEEN-BY: 229/664 981 1016 1017 230/150 152 240/1120 2100 5138 5411       SEEN-BY: 240/5824 5832 5853 249/206 307 317 400 250/1 261/38 100 1466       SEEN-BY: 266/512 267/155 275/100 280/464 5003 282/1038 1056 288/100       SEEN-BY: 291/100 111 292/854 299/6 300/4 310/31 317/3 320/119 219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 340/400 341/66 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 640/1321       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 801/161 189 2320/105 2452/250 2454/119 3634/0       SEEN-BY: 3634/12 15 24 27 50 5020/1042       PATH: 123/140 261/38 3634/12 154/10 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
