A couple of weeks ago, D and I got pulled over while driving on 101. We were pretty confused, because there was a fair amount of traffic and we couldn't have been going more than about 40-50mph.
The cop came over and said, license and registration, so we handed them over. Then, he walked over and glanced at front of the car for a second, before explaining.
License plates have a "month" sticker and a "year" sticker. In California, they look like this:
Apparently the "month" sticker on D's rear license plate had fallen off (it's been 8 years since he moved to California, and the DMV never sends new month stickers), and the cop wanted to make sure that his registration hadn't expired, even though he had a valid 2009 year sticker. In the end he let us go, advising us to go to the DMV as soon as possible, to get a new month sticker.
I guess the state is hard up for cash and all, but wow, that's pretty picky.
