Chicago DUI attorney comments on the end of the sticky situation with city stickers

This Chicago DUI attorney posted here about faulty city stickers.  City sticker enforcement starts today.  It’s not an inexpensive ticket.

August 1, Chicago, Il

Is your 2010-2011 city of Chicago vehicle sticker displayed on your car? It had better be, because starting Sunday vehicles that don't have a current sticker will be ticketed.

The traditional grace period to July 15 was extended an extra two weeks this year to allow for the replacement of stickers that had faulty adhesive.

Even if motorists who haven't yet applied the new stickers to their windshields somehow elude a ticket, they will still be subject to a late fee of $40 if they wait until Sunday or later to purchase their sticker. The price of the ticket for not having a sticker displayed is $120, according to the city clerk's office. The cost of a vehicle sticker is $75.

The City did a great job of replacing the stickers, even if you didn’t have your defective one on hand.  If you did get a replacement sticker, make sure you’ve removed the defective one and placed the new one on your vehicle.
