Driving cross country with expired tags - how to avoid police?
in [USA]
|
From: babynumber88 on 18 Jul 2006 11:03 I'm going to be driving from Washington, DC to northern Louisiana with an LA license plate that expired a couple of years ago. Insurance and driver's license are okay. Any suggestions about what route I should take or how I can avoid getting pulled over? I'm a pretty safe driver, don't speed...going to try and make sure my car is clean and not conspicuous... Should I just stick to major interstates and hope a cop doesn't get close enough to notice? What about smaller, more remote highways and local roads? (Travel time is not a concern...) Does anyone have suggestions about specific states, cities, or roads I should avoid? I've heard plenty about cops in the south being worse about hassling drivers from out of state. I've heard bad things about Lousiana police on I-10, too, and although I won't have to drive very far into LA, I'm concerned about getting nabbed there, where the police will certainly know what color my tag is supposed to be. Has anyone else done this? Any suggestions would be very helpful!

Any suggestions would be very helpful! You want advice from us on how to break the law? I DON'T THINK SO!

Any suggestions would be very helpful! Sure no problem. If you could give us dates and times you will be in key towns, that would be helpful. Also a description of the car would be good so we can help you keep it concealed of course.

Any suggestions would be very helpful! Take a bus, or get a temporary tag.

Any suggestions would be very helpful! Judging by the current price of fuel, the cost of getting the vehicle back on the rolls should be no more than the cost of three or four pit stops. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | |\ ____ | | | | |\ Michael G.
