Alright. I'm an idiot. I was driving my gf's car which had expired tabs and got pulled over. I don't own a car, and therefore don't have any car insurance. Yes. Stupid. Now I have a ticket for $215 for the tabs and $550 for no proof of insurance. Any lawyers in the house? Should I try to mitigate the amount down? Should I get insured on her car and get her tabs paid today and hope they'll cut the fines if I request a court date? HELP!
tags dude, not tabs
Just request a jury of your peers. The judge will never see that one coming.
Car insurance goes with the car so if your girlfriend has insurance just take to the court and you should be okay. I'm not 100% about the ticket for "tags" but if your girlfriend doesn't have insurance or haven't paid her registration then she's either mexican, lazy or just plain stupid so either way you should dump her. You don't seem too bright either, maybe she's perfect for you.
Dude. That attack is unwarranted. Stupid, lazy, Mexican girls have more redeeming qualities than simply being able to register a motor vehicle.

Ha! She IS actually Mexican... but she's also smart, 14 years younger than I am, and really hot, so there's no way I'm dumping her. Anyway, she does have insurance on the car, but it's only in her name. Does that count? You're right, btw... I'm not too bright. But I am fast. Decent payoff.
At least in some states, a ticket for expired tags is a conditional ticket where you can submit proof you took care of the registration within a certain window and the ticket will be waived. You might want to check into that.

I'm sorry for being an ass, it's letsrun, I'm conditioned.
The insurance goes with the car so whoever drives that car is covered. I don't think you can buy auto insurance if you don't have a car. Even if you had your own auto insurance and you drove a car without insurance yours wouldn't cover you because let's say it again "Insurance goes with the car". So seriously, you're fine regarding the no insurance thing and regarding the tags as long as their not expired like 2 years get them, take them to the court and you'll probably pay nothing in fines.
