What is the name of your state? California
OK, due to some errors that happened in the paperwork process, the California DMV never got records of my insurance policy from my insurance company. Because of this, they sent me a letter threatening to suspend my vehicle registration unless I submitted proof myself. I followed their instructions very carefully to the letter and submitted the EXACT document they were asking for. Two weeks later, I receive a notice that my vehicle registration is suspended. I call up the DMV and they say that they never received it when I submitted those documents a few weeks ago. (They don't even have something in their systems saying my documents were denied.) They tell me that the documents were most likely lost in the mail. And now, my vehicle registration is suspended despite me heeding to their warnings and following their instructions to reinstate.
So now I've submitted the documents again a few days ago. In fact, I submitted multiple copies, through email, fax AND snail mail to make sure it'll go through this time with probability 99.999%. Although I live in an area where I can get by without driving, I have an important job interview tomorrow hundreds of miles away. Problem is, even though I do have the documents submitted to reinstate my vehicle registration, it still takes a few days for them to process and enter them into the system.
Suppose the worst case scenario.. the documents still aren't processed and while driving, I'm caught and the police notices that my registration is suspended. However, a day or two later, the finally receive my documents to reinstate my registration and it all goes through. Will I still have to suffer the penalties of driving on a suspended registration? Under the law, it would seem so because my registration was technically suspended at the time.
