I'm not using fake, but I've got temp tags on my new car that I've not bothered to fix yet. They've been expired for about a year now. Real plates are sitting at the dealership. Urgency level is one of "maybe when I go to get my oil changed". Not sure how exactly I wound up feeling this way about administrative matters, but here we are. Tempting authorities with punitive options over pedantic crap is the extra spice I like in my coffee these days.

My dealer mailed me my plates. Sees like lack of motivation is both you and the dealer. I can imagine some dealership clerk coming into work and shrugging shoulders as they see the growing pile of plates .

Maybe that clerk also grabs a couple and sells them on the corner to some getaway driver. Seems like having your plate floating out there is a bad idea. At best nothing happens. At worst, you get your door knocked in and a mid night beating from the local swat team. Lawyering up, proving it wasn’t you, etc.

  That's hardly the worst thing that happens when SWAT teams get involved.

    Yeah, but how much I care is dramatically reduced if I'm dead (/s)

I did this for a while too. I'd suggest actually keeping the plates in the vehicle with you. Some grumpy highway patrol can decide to tow the vehicle unless you fix it then and there. Some may do it anyway. Each state has different time limits for ticket vs tow/impound.

  And in some of them driving with expired registration is a misdemeanor. Hardly seems worth risking having to pay a lawyer, court costs, plus the time & aggravation versus just getting the plates.
