I also got another ticket for an expired car registration. Expired in August of '22. Usually, new car registrations are valid for four years. But my wife's car was technically used because it was a dealer's loaner and we bought it with several thousand miles on it already. The thing is, I never thought anything of the registration because I knew that the emissions inspection wasn't due for another year. We never received anything in the mail so I assumed the registration was for four years too. Now I can't renew it online. I had to make a DMV appointment. What a pain in the ass.
