From WA State. I feel horrible for my 16-yr old son. I own the car that he was driving yesterday evening and he got stopped for tabs that expired 3-weeks ago on Feb 18. The postcard reminder must have come around Christmas time but I must have misplaced it. Now my son has a 'traffic violation' for $124 and has an 'intermediate license' through WA state. The police officer said that he should have known about the tabs being expired since he is the driver. About 3-months ago he got a speeding ticket for going 38 in a 25mph zone and ever since then he is so careful to watch what the speed lmiit signs are. So now with 2 infractions he could lose his license until he is 18. I FEEL HORRIBLE since the expired tabs are my fault. Do you think the courts would at least take it off his name and onto mine? It is my fault. Should I mitigate this?
