I was innocently driving along a very familiar street this evening when I was side swiped by another driver. I pulled into a side street to check for damages and expected the other car to follow me. Instead it drove away, so i am the victim of a swipe and run with a rather ugly black scar all along the side of my white car. My daughter who was with me called the police so we could report the incident and I could have a file number to give to my insurance company. Nothing embarrassing about any of this. While we were waiting for the police person to show up (he was very nice) I began searching for my registration. I found last year's but not the current one. As I was talking to the policeman I explained that I couldn't fine my new registration. He then pointed out to me that my plate was expired, should have been renewed two months ago, and opined that I probably didn't have my registration because I hadn't renewed my plate. Ooops!!
He urged me to do it right away which I did on line this evening. I now at least have a transaction receipt and renewal number to prove my good intentions should some less understanding cop pull me over before my new sticker arrives. Whew! Let's hear it for technology.
