Best Answer

If you are driving an unregistered motor vehicle on a public highway in Connecticut and are contacted by police, the most likely result will be the officer writing you a ticket for operaration of an unregistered motor vehicle and having your car towed, since unregistered vehicles cannot be driven on public roads. The ticket will cost you $117 and the tow bill (which will NOT be covered by AAA since you are in violation of the law) will be a minimum of about $80. The state statute regarding operation of an unregistered motor vehicle is CGS 14-12a.
