For example, in California, drivers pay hundreds of dollars in fines, and risk the possibility of having their vehicles towed, if they are caught driving with an expired registration, while other states like Arkansas don’t care about the registration at all, and it’s not uncommon to see vehicles with registrations that have been expired for at least 20 years.
