Here's info from an Orlando TV site pertaining to unregistered cars:
ORLANDO --
Have you ever driven a friend's car? Did you ask if their registration is up to date?
Next time you take another person's car for a cruise, you might want to check.
Jim, from Casselberry, writes in to the traffic inbox this week:
Can I get a ticket if I'm driving a buddy's car whose registration hasn't been renewed?
The answer to that question is simple enough.
You have until midnight of the day of the registration period or extended registration period — usually your birthday unless you have registered for multiple years.
If you fail to do so, you cannot operate that vehicle legally until the registration is updated.
And that means anyone.
So, if you are driving a friend's car whose registration is expired, you would receive the ticket, not your friend.
If it has been expired for less than six months,
it is classified as a non-criminal traffic infraction, punishable as a non-moving violation. In Orange County, for example, that's $114.
