Motorist gets vehicle registered online during traffic stop

from CBS bq. When officer Jason Zier pulled over a 1992 Mazda 626 on Thursday afternoon, the vehicle's registration had expired. By the time he'd finished writing up Sean Leach for the infraction, the car was legal again. bq. That's because the 36-year-old Jersey City man had a cell phone, a friend with a computer who he could reach and the foresight to use the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission's online registration service. bq. Leach's ingenuity did not save him from getting a ticket, but it did keep him from having his car towed and getting socked with the towing bill. Posted by DaveH at December 5, 2003 12:12 PM
