I will say, it’s an unfair generalization about the reason someone’s car tabs may be expired. Having moved from Olympia to West Seattle, my car tabs went up $300 dollars – for a lot of folks, that’s a huge increase in expense that not everyone has immediately set aside; I sure didn’t, at first and had to put a one month forbearance on my student loan to cover the unexpected expense. It’s also been documented that most Americans don’t even have $500 to cover an emergency medical expense – let alone, $400 car tabs. It’s great that you have the means, but I wouldn’t be spending my energy hunting down people with expired tabs just to berate them for whatever circumstances they are in.
