Today, I got pulled over by a cop and got slammed with a ticket for expired tabs on my motorcycle. The DMV was literally across the street. I was heading there to get new tabs. FML

Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML

Today, I got pulled over and was given a ticket because my exhaust was too loud. I got this ticket while on my way to get said exhaust fixed. FML

Today, I was driving to the DMV to take a test, after getting some points removed from my license. On the way there, I got a speeding ticket and got my license suspended completely. FML

Today, I was pulled over by a motorcycle cop for speeding in a 25 MPH zone. As the cop was walking towards my car, I flicked my cig-bud out of my window. So, the cop did me the pleasure of writing me two tickets instead of one. FML

Today, I got pulled over for violating hands-free law and not having an updated address on my driver's license. Two days ago, I got pulled over for the same reasons. Now, I have four tickets I need to deal with. FML

Today, I received a traffic ticket by mail, presumably for speeding. Not a big deal, if my car hadn't been totalled three months ago. My driver's license is expired, too. FML

Today, I got pulled over for having an expired registration. I also found out my husband hasn't been paying for my car insurance. Luckily, I didn't get arrested because I had my baby with me. They towed my car and gave me 2 tickets and a court date. Oh, and the cop sent me a friend request. FML

Today, I got my paycheck. I was really excited since I've been broke for the last two weeks. On my way home, I got pulled over and got a ticket for expired tags. The $90 for new tags plus $135 for the citation will leave me with enough to buy a burger. FML

Today, I went downtown to pay my speeding ticket. After standing in line and arguing with a rude woman behind the desk, I get back to my car only to find an expired meter and a parking ticket. I got a ticket while paying my ticket. FML

Shouldn't you get new ones before the old ones expire?

So go to court and take your new tags with you. They’ll throw out the ticket.

YDI. You're supposed to do that before they expire.

You should have had it done before the tabs expired.

YDI. Next time, don't drive on expired tags. Even just to the DMV. Go online and renew and get temp tags if you haven't renewed in time.

Excuses and excuses. Get them before they expire. You deserved that ticket.

Only thing I can think of is you were out of town for an ENTIRE 1.5 months prior to receiving the notice in the mail to re-new. Your tabs are always the month of your birthday. YDI, but if you go to court to fight it (especially looking at the police report and the road you were on) it'll get thrown out. They're willing to waste your time if you waste theirs.

They're not always renewed in the month of your birthday. It varies by state.

In Utah at least tabs are renewed annually in the month in which you purchased the vehicle.

How expired were the tabs? Like today expired or months?

YDI because you don't have to wait for your tags to expire to get new ones. Honestly you feel like the kind of person that pays their bill after the due date and then is all "Why did I get a late fee I paid the bill?"
