Is driving with expired tags considered a violation?
I know that moving violations are more serious than non-moving violations. Which category would driving with expired tags fall under?

Driving with expired tags essentially means that you’re driving an unregistered vehicle, which is a serious violation. With that said, it’s generally not considered a moving violation.
A moving violation is defined as a violation that occurs while you are driving your vehicle. They are often the violations that earn you
driver violation points that affect your insurance rates
.While what is or isn’t a moving violation can vary from state to state, most states classify driving with expired tags as a non-moving violation. It can still garner you a hefty fine and the consequences will only get worse if you still fail to renew your registration.
Unfortunately, if your
vehicle registration
expired a year ago or more, you’ll probably have to go through the entire process of registering it from scratch.Car insurance rates can seem ridiculous, especially if you have any violations on your driving record.
