I was pulled over last year and the officer was nice enough to remind me that my plates expired 5 months earlier. He gave me a ticket and said he wouldn't have the van towed because my doughtier was with me (we were headed to a WWE event). The fine was $170. I renewed the tags and went to the court house to pay the ticket and that was when I was glad I moved to WV. The lady at the court house checked to see if I had every thing in order and said "OK, it all looks good, now to take care of the ticket" she messed around on her computer and I asked who to make the check out to. She said "nobody, I just took care of the ticket". I just stood there with a dumb (ok dumber) look on my face. She then explained that sense I renewed the tags there was no need for the ticket. I still had the dumb look but thanked her as I walked out. In WV the first number of the tag number is the month that they need renewed . So as a party bonus, the lady at the DMV gave me a new set of tags. If they just gave me the stickers the tag would already be 5 months old.
And talk about a brain fart, my wife had a big one yesterday. I go to leave for work and start to back the van down the driveway and I hear an awful racket. I get out an look and it's a flat tire. I just got back to work on Monday after being off for four months and didn't want to be late for work on my 3rd day back. I go in to get the keys to the car and told the wife what happened and she goes.. "OOOHHh Sh!+. I seen it this morning as Kelli (my doughtier) was getting on the bus (about 6.5 hour earlier) and forgot to tell you."
