    I'm driving a 24' non CDL truck interstate and the tabs/registration expired last week. I will be driving across weigh scales and my weight is fine. My question is will the DOT shut me down for not having current registration or will they only ticket me?

    I would imagine the fine for expired tags/registration would be pretty hefty as well as counting against your license?

    Most states have a 30 day grace period so for example if your tags expired on 12/31/10 they won't write you a ticket until Feb 1

    You don't carry fix-a-flat on your boat? Oh I forgot you don't plan things out well, hence the expired tags.
