i'm not sure what your state/local laws are on these stickers, but where I'm from, if you don't display, regardless of whether you have a valid sticker, you will have to pay a fine for no-display. I think they justify this fee as an "admin" fee for making them go through a validation process, which takes up their time.
I guess do it at your own risk. |

I tried Googling for examples
"You know this just occurred to me actually, for the last 5 years my father has been running Italian plates front and back on his Ferrari 360 Spider, he picked the car up at the factory in Italy and drove it over there for 2 months. He was stopped once in Alabama of all places, and all the cop wanted to do was say nice car. He has the regular plate in the car, he scratched it all over some brick and has always said if anyone ever said anything he would just say it fell off!" Seems like there is little to lose. You might get a ticket if you get a cop in a bad mood. Especially if you get one of those replica plates that has your state and numbers on it, cop would have to be in a really bad mood. Wouldn't work for folks that live in cities where people are always checking plates/tags for permits or non-registered out of state drivers (DC is notorious for this) but might well work for the weekend driver in the 'burbs especially if the car is garaged privately. I do a lot of work out of my home state for long durations and sometimes my state inspection/registration lapses for months until I can get back home. I've had cops behind me at lights with two month out of date registration sticker in their face and never an issue. |

Get ready for a very expensive experience if you try to drive without the inspection sticker or with an out of state plate. Some states actually tie property tax to the stickers, so you can get hit with evading taxes if you try to get away without paying. CA moved to a "vehicle licensing fee" in lieu of property tax on cars, so at least it isn't a felony if you try to skirt the law. |

I am glad I am seldom in VA. I do temporary assignments and would hate the hassle of having to register every time. |

Definately have to agree. I completely love the euro plate look as it fits the car very nicely but in America it does look very silly and out of place /disorganized IMHO with the mismatched plates. Oh and back to the main topic, Im very glad CT doesnt do any sitckers on the front windshield.

Yes, he literally got hit every day starting with a Monday. He was so busy getting set up for student loans, etc. that first few weeks of school that he didn't have time to get to the DMV right away, and figured "oh, well, how many more could I possibly get?" He got hit every day until he decided to take Friday off and get it taken care of.
