In case anyone hasn't heard yet, all those $100 tickets you've gotten while racing to a fishing hole may all be refunded.

Yep, for sure. And the way they are doing it is by suddenly stopping the car registration notification/renewal mailing that has historically always gone out to remind you to renew your registration. Claiming budget cuts. All I know is that even when they sent me those reminders, some years I'd still forget until I get a ticket. Imagine how much more expired registration ticket revenue they will get this year....the same year they lost that photo ticket revenue.

And don't forget to get your vehicle emission done before getting your new registration. I found this out the hard way after spending half and hour driving out of my way and waiting in line. And I drive by emissions every day when going to work.

And make sure you don't have a damn check engine light when going to emissions!!! I found out the hard(est) way...couldnt renew, couldnt pass emissions, and I was a month past my expiration. Luckily the check engine light just came on, had my OBD reader on me, and found out it was a gascap so I got it all done before a ticket.
That being said, if I get a refund...GAS on!
