VEHICLE REGISTRATION NOTICES IN ERROR

Don't forget to read the fine print, Roanokers.

The Department of Motor Vehicles mailed out 300,000 vehicle registration renewal notices last week before an observant Roanoke motorist noticed a mistake, according to Jeanne Chenault, a DMV spokeswoman.

The mistake, probably caused by a printing glitch, listed the wrong vehicle information on nearly 1,000 notices - part of a batch for the Roanoke area.

Chenault said the affected motorists, all of whom had a November renewal date, will receive corrected registration cards this week. Any renewal notice that was received before this week should be discarded.
