SharePoint 2010 Alerts
I have a SharePoint 2010 List of vehicle information with one field which is Registration Due Date. There are about 100 vehicles in the list. I would like to set up a reminder to email me when a vehicle's Registration Due Date is near.
How can I achieve this?
Thank you!

That won't work. The reason it works in that example is because the item is actually being modified. In our case here the item is added when the item would not be in the view and I'm assuming (so correct me if I'm wrong) nobody would be editing the item until the Due Date is near and the alert for action would be triggered. Since there is no edit no alert would ever trigger that it is in the view. (I know it should, but it doesn't)

sharepointguru14, I tried the first option - it works well. Many thanks.
JamieMcAllister the concept of views is excellent for circumstances in which I am changing items, but in this case I will be just adding items - thank you for your suggestion.

Create a new View that displays only items within X days of their expiry.
Set up an alert for all changes specific to that view only.
Idea is similar to this;
