What is the grace period for an expired California driver's license?
The other writers are correct. There is NO grace period in California for an expired California driver’s license. Nor is there ever likely to be one. California is very strict on these matters, and on matters of identification in general.It is highly encouraged that you renew your license 1 to 60 days prior to its expiration. Failure to do so automatically throws you into the “non-renewable category,” which means doing everything again — written test, eye test, and sometimes the road test, as well. Plus, you are required to appear IN PERSON, once you have fallen into the “non-renewable category.”See California Drivers License Renewal Guide | DMV.org , quoted below:“Your California drivers license expires every 5 years on your birthday.The CA DMV will mail you a renewal notice about 2 months before the expiration date.Depending on your driver's license status (valid, expired, suspended, or lost/damaged), you can renew either:• Online.• By mail.• By phone.• In person.To be eligible for online, by phone and by mail renewals, you must:• Have a driver license that expires within 60 days.• Be less than 70 years old.• Not have a suspended license or driving probation.• Not have failed to appear in court within the past 2 years.• Not made your last 2 renewals by mail.• Not hold an out-of-state driver's license.NOTE: Your California drivers license renewal notice will inform you if you qualify to renew online, by phone, or by mail.”Good luck!
Does a new owner of used car in California need to get the car smog checked again before registering the vehicle?
Yes, you will need to pass smog again. It is mandatory for all used vehicle transfers in California.You can ignore the seller's renewal notice because it doesn't apply to you.The seller was responsible to get it done prior to sale, but often they neglect to do it on very cheap vehicles.When a car is sold, who is responsible for the inspection?The seller is required to provide the buyer with a valid smog inspection certification at the time of the sale or transfer. Smog certifications are good for 90 days from the date of issuance.The inspection is not required on a transfer if a biennial smog certification was submitted to DMV within 90 days prior to the vehicle transfer date (a vehicle inspection report may be required for proof of certification).California exempts you as new owner from passing smog only if the vehicle passed smog within 90 days of being sold to you.There is another exemption for vehicles that are less than 4 model years old.NOTE: Smog certifications are not required for transfers that occur for a gasoline powered motor vehicle that is four or less model years old. (Determine the oldest-qualifying year model by subtracting three from the current year) the four or less model years old rule does not apply to diesel powered vehicles. A smog transfer fee will be collected from the new owner.Source: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dm...

What happens if you get pulled over with expired registration in California?
You will get a minimum of $200 ticket for driving with an expired registration. A lot of it depends on how long your car registration is past its due date. If your vehicle has an expired registration for less than 6 months, it is considered a non moving violation but if it has a registration that has expired for more than 6 months, it is considered a moving violation and will add up your points on your DL ( Drivers license) and your insurance rates will go up.Your license plate can be suspended and you will be asked to renew your registration failing which you have to return your license plates to your local DMV .You would have the option to return the plates or pay up the penalty . Remember that vehicle registration and vehicle inspections are completely separate things. Many people forget it!. Some think they are done once they do their vehicle inspection and forget about the registration.You can also be pulled over ( although you will not be given a ticket) if you have expired registration stickers at the back of your car and not the new one. In the state of PA, they have done away with stickers and want you to keep your registration proof inside your glove compartment now.
Does the US law prohibit a person from planting a GPS tracking device on someone else, or otherwise using a GPS tracking device, to track the location of someone else without the latter's consent?
You attempt to track a boyfriend, girlfriend or significant other in their own carAs of now, here's what private citizens need to know about GPS tracking and the law:It's generally legal to use a GPS tracking device if:You or your organization own the vehicle or asset to be tracked. You or your organization own the asset that might be taken without your permission. Your children (under 18 years old) are the focus of the tracking. You are tracking a car or asset for the purpose of legal repossession in the event of a default on a loan. It's generally illegal to use a GPS tracking device if:You are not the owner of the car and do not have the legal right to track itYou attempt to track a boyfriend, girlfriend or significant other in their own carFor police and licensed private investigatorsYou should know that the laws governing GPS tracking by government agents, police or private citizens are not definitive. The Fourth Amendment and other state and federal laws grant United States residents certain protections to their privacy, including strict limits on illegal search and seizure. But there's nothing in the Constitution that specifically addresses GPS tracking technology – or many other forms of electronic surveillance. The Supreme Court and several lower courts issued rulings on GPS in 2012, but those decisions addressed narrow uses of the technology by police and employers, respectively. The courts didn't address the use of GPS tracking devices by private citizens or private investigators. With its recent ruling on GPS tracking by police, the Supreme Court left many questions unanswered. But the justices signaled that they were ready to delve more deeply into electronic surveillance issues. Visit us at LoneStar Tracking GPS Vehicle Tracking Solutions
