PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
If you’ve switched to email reminders for when to renew your car tag in Oklahoma, CHECK NOW to make sure you didn’t miss it. I know 2 people who discovered too late that they didn’t get their notices & are paying the penalty! I won’t say how late it was; I would laugh if it weren’t so expensive.
(OK, I’m laughing anyway.)
To top it off, there’s a good possibility the reason it was finally noticed was because I was cruising around with the top down on the red Mustang on a borderline chilly day.
At least I wasn’t speeding. AND I had just left the tag agency, where I renewed my drivers license that might or might not have been deemed expired on the final day of March.
BUT — I did get a warning (JUST a warning) for not signaling long enough before changing lanes as I weaved through slow city traffic!! What? At least I was signaling!!
The kind young Norman police officer also gave me the “good news” that he wouldn’t tow my car, which apparently is an option when the tag is that out of date. He even let me drive on to pick up a friend to take to the airport in OKC!!
Amazingly & thankfully, I was able to get the new tags on the way home from the airport. (I also put my insurance verification where it belongs — in my car! Fortunately I wasn’t cited for its absence.)
I got home in time to prepare dinner & then took a walk, grateful to relax as I continued to count my blessings!
