Hey all,

Just a quick warning...was off to Grandma's house yesterday for Sunday lunch when I was pulled over by the OPP.

Had just turned a corner so wasn't speeding yet....the OPP have plate scanning technology and as I drove by it raised a warning because my plates had expired.

I figured I would get a reminder email on my birthday but obviously that didn't happen. Officer said ⅔ of the province is in this boat (plates expired but don't realize it) ... $110 fine but he let me off with a warning. I renewed when I got home and was able to set a reminder this time.

He did admire the vehicle...

fyi...

New York State Troopers have devices that regularly scan plates for vehicle information.

A neighbor at my western New York summer residence is sergeant of the local barracks and demonstrated the unit for me.

Auto-renewal will be implemented in the coming weeks so long as you don't have any outstanding fines.
