DMV defiant

Actually—the reason I started paying attention to the renewal date stickers on license plates is that a friend of mine noticed that some of the vanity plates I post about were expired. That was explainable because I stockpile photos I take of plates and just post in batches. I still have some shots of cars from when I lived in California—that was nine years ago.

However, JQ’s comment kind of sparked something in my attention span, so that’s how I headed down the expired plate rabbit trail.

And lest you think it’s only Virginia owners who thumb their noses at renewing their registration, here are some of the out of state plates. 

(Allow me to say that whenever some driver pulls a boneheaded move, when I look at the license plates, they're usually Maryland.)

Washingtonians really don't give a toss. (Traveling Gun hasn't renewed since 2015.)

Pennsylvania and Texas don't seem to care about renewals? 

This North Carolina driver joined the expired temporary plate crowd. (I shot the photo in May.)

And I'm not sure where this one's from, but it's expired.

It’s like the People’s Republic is the vortex of vehicular scofflaws.
