Today I need to get my car inspected. I have never let one expire before, and I feel such shame I didn't notice sooner.

I always let mine expire by one day. That way I get thirteen months out of the inspection. Over time, I could get an entire extra year. It always makes me feel like I'm winning somehow.

When my kids were small I was 3 months over due when a cop pulled me over. I had no clue, but she was super nice about it.

Wow. 3 years ago I got a ticket on the first day of the month my sticker was expired. Iā€™m still mad about it to this very day.

It happens. About 12 years ago I let mine expire, apparently for over 3 months. I genuinely did not notice or think about it until I got pulled over. It was a pretty cheap ticket, at least.

I need to get mine inspected. I recently moved from a state that doesn't do that so this is a new experience.

You're not alone. Except our former state had inspections too, we're just lazy.

I grew up in Virginia, I should know better. That being said, I did move to a state for 2 years that didn't do inspections and upon returning I didn't have a car for a while, so I fell out of habit, I guess.
