Is an expired inspection sticker a moving violation?
I was getting ready to hop in my car the other day when my husband told me that my inspection sticker was expired. I might need a few days to get a new inspection, but I’m worried about getting pulled over and its effect on my car insurance. Is an expired inspection sticker considered a moving violation?
