What is the name of your state? NY
Hi, I received a ticket for an "unregistered vehicle under 60 days" violation. I plead not guilty and today I received a court summons. My registration expired on 2/27/08 and I received the ticket on 2/28/08. I had renewed the registration in 12/07, using the DMV web site, but unfortunately I never received the sticker and lost track of the matter. I got a new sticker right after receiving the ticket.
From what I've read, I get the impression that you're guilty if you don't have your current sticker on the windshield, with little exception to the rule. So, should I even bother appearing at court, i.e. just write a check? The court isn't even in my county, and I'd hate to waste my time and miss at least a half-day of work.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
