If you need a sticker on your birthday every year, you tend to remember. I expect a lot of tickets for non-inspection when people forget the routine. I remember in the 70's we had a flood of transplants get tickets for expired this or that. The excuse was "Nobody sent me a reminder letter". We should get a letter. Added expense, but the DMV now sends out letters and fees were increased accordingly.
I still like getting an inspection by the seller whenever a car changes hands. Easy to remember.
If we go to two years, registration should be every two years also, no change in fee since DMV overhead is reduced. If you get stopped, no ticket for say, 10 days and then waived when the computer shows that you registered or inspected. This is a silly thing to waste a lot of time on. Paying a highly trained police officer/trooper to stand at a toll booth and stop people for expired stickers is not a good use of funds or manpower. (Same content sent to my Senator).
