The state of Connecticut neglected to tell me that I needed to re-register my car. I got a ticket for having an expired registration sticker. I paid it ($93.00, and that wasn't easy to scrape up), but I missed the answer date (which I misread as 2-14). Now I'm scared that my license is going to be suspended and that I am not going to have any way to get around. I mean, I can't walk. And if I lose my license, I don't know how to get it back again.
I really didn't intend to miss the deadline. But I did.
I hope that paying the fine is enough, but I don't trust my town, the town's cops, or my state to do anything sensible or honorable.
And I dare not ask the cops if I'm in trouble or how to get out of it, in case that attracts unwanted attention.
I've gotten to the point where I'm panicking every time I see a police car. (They patrol constantly.) And I'm having nightmares about going to court and losing my license.
Someone, please, reassure me. I'm scared and I'm physically ill and it's not a good combination.
