A lot of them are people too lazy/absent minded to put the current stickers on.

The fuck do they care if the registration is current?! It's being fucking towed!
Apparently AAA has had problems with "resellers and criminal activity".
Whatever. I'll just handle the paperwork today. Driving it through DTLA on the 5...at night... with no reg didn't sound much like a good time anyways.

Totally forgot about that. How do they k ow the tags are expired? I dont know that they've ever asked me. I suppose the driver might have checked

I am fairly sure it's a policy aimed at preventing their roadside assistance service being used to haul home just purchased rusty junk project cars that dont even roll. So the trick of course is to to buy rusty junk project cars that are.miraculously.still registered but dangerous to drive!

AAA should issue you a one-day moving permit, though. That's my plan for my non-op D-21 when I get around to it.
Otherwise, a U-Haul.with a towing dolly is.cheaper than a seizure. Still not enough traffic out there to chance it, classics always get extra attention.
Congrats on your buy, I'd love to find something like that.

Ran around today like a mad man. Got it registered, insured, gassed it up and drove it home. Apparently, there is some kind of grace period where in California you have 30 days to insure a vehicle after you purchase it?
Yep.. state law I think. As long as you have other insured vehicles

As long as nothing happens, maybe?

Yup - your existing insurance covers newly purchased vehicles for 30 days - some companies give you the same coverage as your existing vehicles while others give you the state-mandated minimum.

I'm about to purchase another moto, and my insurance rep said my current coverage will suffice for 14 days before insuring it.
In any case, I've been rolling around with an expired tag on my other bike in spite of having renewed my registration on time because the DMV never sent me the sticker.
I later paid for the $22 replacement, but the DMV failed to send that too. I certainly receive in the mail their reminder each year to renew...
