Re: [turnabout] Driving back to the states on expired plates

In Sept '07 I bought a used Jeep in TX, loaded a trailer, drove it down, because it was new to me, I had only a bill of sale that didn't look very official, MX required me to get a 30 day temp plate, I went back across the border, got a 30 day temp permit and came on down. In Dec when the plates expired I tried to renew only to find the plate was actually not only out of date, but canceled. I went back to TX in Feb, drove into Laredo and got new plates, no problems. A year and 4 months later again I drove into TX with expired plates, got new ones and by then the inspection sticker was way out of date, no problem. My point is that unless you are stopped for a traffic infraction, no one else cares, don't worry about it and be ready to flash your passport if stopped, it's unlikely you'll have a problem.
