Police around metro Denver are planning a week-long enforcement blitz starting Sunday targeting drivers of vehicles that are unregistered or for which registrations have expired.
The Aurora Police Department, teaming with Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas county sheriff’s deputies, will be on the lookout for faulty registrations through July 1, authorities in Aurora announced Thursday morning.
Drivers of vehicles caught with registrations expired for 60 days or more face fines of $93 under state law.
Police “are encouraging residents to get caught up on their vehicle registration before the campaign kicks off this weekend,” the announcement said.
Vehicle registration revenues help cover costs of road maintenance and help maintain recreational opportunities in parks. Drivers can buy a discounted annual state parks pass when they register. More information is available online at DMV.Colorado.gov/Registration or at county motor vehicle offices.
It’s finally happening, guys. It’s finally happening.
I’ll believe it when I see it…
Even if they enforce it, a $93 fine is not a huge deterrent.
It’s a start!
Anything’s better than nothing!
Which is what they were currently doing (nothing).
It’s ridiculous how little enforcement of anything there has been.
I25 is like mad max. Hope they start cracking down on drivers without insurance.
There’s so much they could enforce to make it safer. Cause you’re right, it is like mad max.
My fondest memory of I25 is I was driving down, probably doing 110mph trying to keep up with traffic, and the clear plastic headlight cover on my 1998 Deville goes flying by my driver’s window. Luckily it didnt strike any cars behind me but that was fun to put packing tape over till I could afford to replace the headlight housing.
