I was wondering what exactly are the rules of tabs. For example, my tabs expired in August, and I purchased them online, and printed the receipt. Is the receipt enough proof that I have new tabs coming, to avoid getting a ticket? (I'm thinking the holiday put me on a little delay, I ordered them online around the 27th)
I've been staying put until I have my new tabs.....but I'm starting to go stir crazy. Do you have any experience?

I would suggest calling the DMV and asking. If they say no, I know they can issue you replacement tabs with your receipt. I have had that happen before. The ticket is no joke, $113. I just had to go to court to fight one that wasn't even mine. The cop transposed numbers on the license plate and I received a notice in the mail about an unpaid fine.

I have heard some say that you have a 10 day grace period and I have heard others say you don't.

It all depends on the cop! Some will be okay with it others have a stick up their butt and will give you a ticket no matter what.

The 10 day grace period is NOT law but generally followed by law enforcement. The receipt is NOT enough unless you have a very nice officer. Remember, you can get ticketed if your car is on the street too. Make sure it is off public right of way. DS1 just got a ticket on the street in front of his apartment last month. Then he bought his tabs but didn't put them on. Got another ticket. Dork.

Bunsy is right about the street ticket. That's how the one I had to fight was issued, so they didn't know the owner and when they transposed the numbers, tada! I came up! Dummies!

They used to have a grace period of 10 days and eliminated it a few years ago.....so it will depend on the cop

Well, the tabs came in the mail today.... SO happy about that. DH got a speeding ticket a few weeks ago, (his 2nd one in less then a year!!!!!!) and it hurt us a little (financially) so I would have been home until they came, I don't want ANOTHER ticket!!!
