(b) The notice shall be provided a reasonable time before expiration date of the registration.

(2) The department shall not be required to notify the registered owner of an approaching expiration if the department has reason to believe:

(a) The vehicle has been sold, wrecked or stolen;

(b) The registered owner is ineligible to renew the registration;

(c) There is a dispute with regard to the title of the vehicle; or

(d) The registered owner failed to notify the department of a change of address as required by ORS 803.220.

(3) Failure to receive notice of expiration from the department is not a defense to a charge of driving with an expired vehicle registration. However, the court may dismiss the charge if the owner registers the vehicle before the scheduled court appearance.
