Just remember in many states like Maryland, DC, Colorado, etc...unlike
NJ we do have to reapply for plates every year and stick color coded
stickers to the plate to make expired plates noticable.

Another subject:  Selective Enforcement.  The State of Maryland has
a requirement that you must have insurance.  To get your plates you
are obligated to state that you have insurance (big deal, you don't
have to show anything).  Last month I got a letter from the MVA saying
that they are instigating a random sampling of insurance.  I had less
than one month to get a special form filled out by my insurance company
and mailed to the MVA or else my registration was going to be suspended.
Doesn't seem overly fair.  I only ever received one notice, so if I had
not received that one, I could be today running around without a valid
registration due to failure to submit to this random survey.  Doesn't
seem overly legal.  Right up there with the summary intoxication checks
that the police run here at three in the morning.  Pull you over on the
flimsiness of excuses to check your sobriety.  Harumph.

Comments anyone?
