Long ago you used to be able to just not go and nothing would happen until you went to renew the registration. The wouldn’t let you and you’d have to get new plates and reg and do it all over again. So a lot of people just didn’t go. Especially when you had a shitbox that couldn’t pass. Then dmv started pulling registrations for people and they wouldn’t tell you until you got pulled over for driving an unregistered vehicle. I’m not sure if that’s still happening but if there’s no light on just go and get it done while you know it will pass to save yourself lots of possible headaches
