If memory serves, there was a big holdup back during the height of the pandemic - people weren't getting proper tags due to the backlog.

Add to that the issue with Carvana not doing paperwork in time, or at all. Lots of folks with Carvana purchases and old temp tags.

It might have started or spiked there, but I'd be surprised if abuse didn't account for at least half of the paper tags on the road at the moment. Regardless, if you see paper tags (especially expired ones) it's safest to assume the driver is uninsured.

I def remember a holdup in 2020. But I bought a car in 2021 and was expecting to ride on my paper tags for months and I got perm ones in 3 weeks.

Gotcha! That was just a thought I had.

Carvana's still a problem, though. Have been seeing a LOT of their cars around with temp tags.

That’s interesting. I was thinking people were just printing fake ones out from some site. When I saw the laminated one yesterday….🤔
