No

I disagree. It’s a pretty simple requirement to have a current reg sticker on your car; all 50 states have that requirement. If it wasn’t a violation to have an old sticker v new than nobody would ever take the time to change the stickers, meaning a lot of tickets would be written and later dismissed.

Given how many illegal and uninsured vehicles float around I think we are all much better for this law than without it. There is a lot of stuff in NY to be bitching about but this ain’t one of ‘em.

How about they save the taxpayers a bunch of money by eliminating the stickers altogether.

The registration and inspection are already tied to the license plate, and every cop car around automagically runs every plate it sees to check that status already.

The stickers seem like a redundant waste of time and money for everyone but the guy selling them to the state.

What're the registration/inspection requirements in NC? Why not register the car in NC and leave it to your kid in NY to use. NY can't do a damn thing about it at that point.

I too had kids on my insurance when they were young. The deal was get one (1) moving violation and you are off my insurance, period...

They all got tickets and all went on their own insurance. No big deal, to me... Some lessons are learned easy and some not.

That is just how it worked. I was in a situation where I was commuting from Saratoga Spings area for a portion of a year to NYC. I filed income tax returns for NY, NJ and the Feds. The state "rejected" my state income tax return. Form "ba ba ba" was needed. I asked the CPA were I worked what is form "ba ba ba". He says, oh its you NJ tax return. So I include it with the NY return and send back in. I heard nothing. Then 2 years later I get a nasty letter for the tax police say "you didn't file a return, but we have your federal return. You own us for not filing a return, penalties, interest, more penalties etc etc and NYC taxes too. Added up to 6-7 thousand dollars. I consulted a tax attorney friend. He told me how to handle it. I filed a response. Their response was "pay us, now you own more". I appealed to next level. Response "pay us, now you own even more." I'm a lawyer so I have some idea how to present paper work. Finally it was appeal to an administrative law judge. I had moved out of state as was preparing to travel to Albany for the hearing. For the first time my case was in the hands of a person with a functioning brain. He said " I have reviewed your submission, you are correct, and your original return should never have been rejected." He then said he reviewed my submission and the state actually owed me $700 back and if I agree to that, to sign an agreement and I would be paid. I did and I was.

You see, generally to get a clerk position with the State off NY you first must have your brain removed. No one in the tax office actually have a functioning brain.
