My job has required me to move to a new city every 6 months, and I haven't gotten a new tag for my car each time I moved because the taxes/fees would kill me. I've kept the Florida plates, since that's where I started out. However, it is time to renew my FL tag and they won't give me one without proof of florida insurance. The catch is that my insurance isn't in florida, it's in georgia, since that's where I'm living until January. The insurance company won't change my policy, and I don't want to register the car in GA because I'll have to pay several hundred dollars for the tag and ad valorem tax, which is a complete waste since I'm moving to Texas (permanently) in January.
1) How likely is it that I'll get busted for having an expired tag during the next 4 months? Are cops even looking for that on out-of-state tags?
2) If I do let the FL registration lapse, will that cause problems when I finally do settle down in Texas and register my car there, since I'd have to get new plates anyway? Or do they not care?
