Seems like it... But shit happens and you move on. Just let it be a lesson not to be like me and forget to renew your registration and get pulled over by a cop. ::) ...Though, I'm not sure what the policy is in other countries, if cars need to be 'registered' or not.
 
Oh yes. Annual fee, with a nice central registry that the police can access. The same goes for the compulsory part of the insurance (the one that covers the expenses of the others involved when you cause an accident).

And a hefty fine if you are pulled over for a control and these things are not in order.
 
@Moon Child
Happened to me before. Cost me about $400 between the fine and the tow charge, if I remember right.
Cops wouldn't let me leave it where they pulled me over and wouldn't let me drive it two blocks to a parking lot.
They were complete bully boy assholes.
 
Luckily, my cop was a nice guy. He had stopped me just down the street from where I live and because of that, he said he wasn't going to have it towed. Just gave me the citation and told me to get my registration taken care of as soon as I got home.

In Nova Scotia, you can re-register your vehicle now from the website, and the email counts as a temporary registration permit. I'd just buy it on my smartphone when they pull me over.

"Know why I pulled you over?"
"Yeah, my registration is expired."
"I'm going to fine you."
"Well, in the last minute and a half...I bought my registration."
 
Czechs wiping the floor with the Slovaks, 4-0. Slovakia is not a country that has a lot of young players coming out of it, and it is just getting older and older. I feel like in a few more years, they will be well down the rankings after some high showings in World Championships and Olympics.

Latvia is still holding on 2-1. Losing to Latvia would be a huge setback for the Swiss hockey program, which has been pushing to move up towards the Big Six. Losing to one of the Other Countries in hockey would hurt them, much as Slovenia's two wins over Austria and Slovakia have harmed both those countries more than they have helped Slovenia.

4-1 for Czechs now. Slovakia scored one near the end of the 2nd. I don't know if it'll help.

Slovakia seem to be done as a top, top hockey nation. They still hold a higher level than Latvia, Austria, Norway and so on, but I'd say they are now closer to the weaker teams in the Olympics than to the stronger.

These results just shows that outside of the big six, no other nations are stabilizing on a high enough level to challenge regularly. I thought Switzerland were on the way to do so. I thought Austria and Slovenia to be at about the same level as Norway and I still do, despite Norway now going out without winning a single game.

I agree with most of that, although it's more like a big five and a middle four now, IMO.
I think - despite what the Olympics are showing - the Czechs and Slovaks have fallen back to Germany, while the Swiss have caught them.
And I really like that we are seeing the third tier in a position to beat the middle group, while the middle group can threaten the big boys.

And Go Latvia!
