Expired Registration Ticket

[imjimmylin]

So I totally forgot to renew my registration and today I got a ticket for $230. Is there anything I can to get this reduced? I mean $230.00 seems a little bit much considering my girlfriend just got a ticket for no insurance for $130. I would think that no insurance would be more wouldnt it?

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

Insurance IS a bigger fine... well over 2 grand. (Around 2600-2800?)

Dude.... you failed to re-register your vehicle. Pay the damn fine.

$230 is not too bad man

[canuckcarguy]

How long has it been expired for, and were you pulled over for something else? Most cops would likely let it go if you were a few weeks late, unless they pulled you over for other stuff and decided to punish you hard.

your GF got a "failure to provide insurance" ticket, its $127 dollers with no demerits (no way to fight this one)

"no insurance" ticket is bout 2 g i believe, but fightable in court.

This fine used to be $74 back in the day.. crazy how it jumped.

Mr Jimmy, me thinks she got a slightly different cause no insurance = $2000 fine.

Actually I went and fought that one and they reduced it by half.

Plus it was $172, not $127 (at least it was about 4 years ago).

There is a difference between fighting it and asking for them to reduce it in exchange for pleading guilty.... I think richardchan2002 had done the latter. You can fight a fail to produce ticket for dl/ins/reg, but why bother? Either you produced it or you didn't, and the traffic commish/judge will tell you the exact same thing.

[rc2002]

Yup. When I say fought, I mean I went in and talked to the Crown Prosecutor.

That said, you could also plead guilty in court. Last time I went to court to fight a ticket on a non-guilty plea, they gave me another chance to plead guilty before the session started.

+1 and it was on christmas eve

I made this same mistake (3 weeks overdue) and have to go pay/deal with this tomorrow.

The main thing I want to confirm is that this ticket has no impact on insurance, right?

Also, has anyone had much luck getting this ticket reduced? I'd imagine they should knock it down a bit when you were barely overdue, but if they are strict on this I'd rather not wait for 3 hours to find out.

[dannie]

I cant comment on the reducing of the ticket, but the ticket itself is not a moving violation so it wont go on your abstract. Therefore, it wont affect your insurance.

Now that is a kick to the groin.
