I got a ticket on my way home from work tonight. It was my fault: the tags on my 16 valve expired in APRIL!! I hadn't even realized.
[In VA, you have to keep your tags, your safety inspection and your county stickers current at all times. With three cars (recently), it's a pain in the a$$ to keep up with it all. Lots of extra revenue for the state though!!]
I asked the officer if the ticket was considered a "moving violation" and he said, "yes".
Do insurance companies count these types of tickets against your record? I'm wondering because I wasn't ticketed for speeding, only having expired tags. I'm insured by Geico.
Thanks!
