I do have online banking; now, I just have to figure out how to access the statements .

I just read on the CA DMV site that it can take up to 8 weeks for the tags to arrive. Grrr. So, possibly, the person at DMV didn't know what the heck was going on.

Because of how some CA officers regard people driving on expired tags, I'm just not going to do it. I see it leading to nothing but a huge headache if I'm pulled over and cited and have to go to court to clear the citation, when I already have doctors threatening to not fill prescriptions - when I can't get to an appointment. Like... I don't think I can predict when I will or will not be stuck in bed. Imagine if I didn't show up for court. Yikes.
