Holy shit that's savage. Tow and impound?!

This happened to me a couple years ago. Had the whole family in the car, had to call 2 cars to pick everyone up. Over $1k all said and done haha.

Problem was my other car was in storage, pulled it out for the day to get some miles on it and forgot registration lapsed. First world problems.

Am I the only one who hopes they don't reduce it? I dont' know how long you have been driving but registration is due the same time every year, its not rocket science. And its not like it was expired by only a few days but September?? You forgot, I get it-we are all busy, but its a 100% legit, deserved ticket.

But buying 2 years at a time definitely work against you a bit.

Just sign up for reminders.

Bro I had the updated insurance papers to prove I have insurance and also had expired insurance papers in the vehicle at the same time.

You can get a ticket for anything lol

Truth. I had a 2 sets of insurance documents in my booklet one was current and one was expired underneath the current set. I didn't think much about it at the time when I was putting the documents in the car. Got pulled over and the cop told me I could get a ticket for having another set of documents that were expired. I had a wtf look on my face but just accepted his comments.

[rage2]

Yea, there's an actual ticket for keeping expired documents lol.

I am another guy that got tow and impound for being two days late. I had the renewal in the glove box (that they used to mail) and offered to drive with the officer to the registry to pay and told him I just forgot and I had no outstanding tickets I was trying to avoid paying for. He said he didn't care and told me to get out of the car. lol Brutal day.

I will reserve judgement until I see what side you put the sticker on. Get it wrong and I hope they double your fine

Aren't most tickets basically revenue generation tickets? That's how I see them anyways.

Alberta isn't as bad as Ontario. Talking on the cell there can get you a $1,000 ticket for first offense, $2,000 for second etc.

I wouldn't say that. Without a doubt, speeding is the most crooked revenue enforcement scam going. How the hell does something that accounts for less than 1% of accidents, be what 80% of tickets are written for?

But anything distracted driving related I can't say is revenue based. It is a legit massive safety concern as it is the number one leading cause of accidents.

Then you have stuff like failure to stop at a stop sign. It can be dangerous, but if you confirmed the way was clear and safe then a complete stop ticket is just ignorant. That's the problem is Cops are stupid. They're jar heads, they aren't trained to think for themselves. So they just go out and execute marching orders, they never stop to think about whether what they are doing is relevant to their job description or not.

This use to be a $200 ticket.. I would get a lot of these when I was young... usually cause I switched cars so often... and to register the new one I would have to pay $$$$ to clear up outstanding tickets. For some reason the excuse of “well if you stopped giving me tickets then I could register the car” didn’t work, nor did “I’m actually driving to the registry right now” ... one time that was actually true also

Pay $$$$ to clear outstanding tickets, that hasn't been around that long has it. I don't think it's even been 10 years.

Hee hee.

I have nothing more to offer on these topics these days because I’m a jar head and stupid, but just wanted to let you know that was a good laugh while having my morning coffee.

Naturally, it's where I spend the other half of my time when I'm not out mindlessly handing out tickets for traffic offences that aren't hurting anyone.

Don’t you end up paying more than if you just paid off when you received the ticket? I don’t know I haven’t received a ticket in almost 10 years haha

[schocker]

This thread made me check and I only had my 2018 insurance slip in the car a++.

I got lucky then ~ 8 years ago in Edmonton. Got pulled over by a speed trap and couldn't find the registration anywhere in my glove compartment. After ~ 5-8 mins of me frantically searching, the officer just walked back to his cruiser and came back saying he looked me up in the system and confirmed that I renewed my registration. Ended up with only a speed ticket and a warning that I should have it in the car.
