Here in henrietta, if you have a car sitting in your driveway without a lisence plate on it, you can get cited for it. There are so many dumb laws floating around out there, it makes me so angry. > > –mark It sounds like that has some sort of time requirement on it but I don’t think that will hold up in court though. Your driveway is your property just like your garage is. That would be like the police opening your garage door without your permission and giving you a ticket for a car thats sitting in the garage without plates on etc. ---

i got a ticket or two for and expired inspection from a meter maid last year. personally id just pay them online and be done with it. going downtown to a court or to the dmv definitely isnt worth the possibility of saving $35. ---

NYS Vehicle and Traffic code only applys to vehicles on public roads. That’s why we can drive like crazy people at an autocross, even with cars that are completely unregistered. If you have a big circular driveway you could drive around in circles all day on it, with no plates, and the cops couldn’t say shit to you (assuming you didn’t break any noise ordinances or something). However, there may be a local ordinance that does not allow you to STORE unregistered vehicles in front of your house, even in your driveway. All it takes is a couple rednecks with a couple camaro’s sitting on blocks to get the neighbors pissed off and “no storage” ordinance gets passed. ---

Unless it was in your drive way, then you need a front plate. ---

I know there are a lot of people that get away with having cars on their property, but trust me, I am right. I have 2 of my friend’s cars in my garage because he has been written up 2 x by the city. As for a no plate ticket in Buffalo, just pay it becuse it is not worth your time to fight and it is not a moving violation. Put your plate on and you won’t have to worry about it any more.
