Boy, those are not words you want to hear! It's the first time I've had to do it, too.
Good thing I've got an innocent face and a spotless driving record. I've been driving around on an expired license plate since September! *blushes* And to make matters worse, the insurance card was expired, too-I forgot to put the new one in my wallet on Monday.
Got away with a warning-get it plated and don't let me see you driving around until then. That could have been a whole lot worse. Yikes!
My little car is up at Canadian Tire now, being diagnosed since it failed its emissions test. Grumble! Hopefully, it will be back in time to get the new sticker today for the plate. So I'm waiting to hear about the car and Bear is waiting on a return visit from the plumber, since one of the newly fixed sinks is leaking. It's been an expensive week all around.
I was only driving to work because my back is really bad again-and got pulled over right around the corner from the house. Should have walked, but then I still wouldn't realize that I was blissfully breaking the law. You see, my birthday is February. Plates need renewed on your birthday, so February has always been plate-time. Problem is, Bear's birthday is September and these plates are in Bear's name. Sooooooo, September came and went without us thinking about the car.
I suppose I've been lucky so far, not getting caught for 5 months with an expired tag.
But my crime spree ends here. I'm going back to being all law-abiding. It's either that, or a really good bra and some low-cut shirts. :)

Holy crap... thanks for the reminder, I have been driving since October with outdated stickers.
I renewed in September, just never got around to sticking it on my plate, and come to think of it my insurance papers are M.I.A as well...
*runs out the door to stick the sticker on the plate and call the insurance company before I too get stopped*
LOL, glad it helped someone!
What an awful feeling that was. Felt like such a knob.
LOL!!!
Ok, so not good about the expired plates, but lol at "crime spree". :D
wow - don't they send you a reminder in the mail? or is that just a Quebec thing... we don't have stickers, we just pay up and that's that.
well SOME of us pay up. *grin*!!
We get a form in the mail that you have to take in to get the sticker.
But they send the form about 3 months ahead of time, so it got put into a "safe place". And that is of course the code word for the mysterious black hole that sucks up all important items in the house. :[
