Re: Has this ever happened to you
Not exactly something I'd be proud of. And if something happens, such as an accident, your insurance company will not cover you if your registration is not valid. It's the same as driving without insurance, only you're still paying for it.

Re: Has this ever happened to you
I agree that the guy in the post dropped several balls...
But it is still amazing that the bureaucracy in government is a pain in the rear when you want to do something, and be pro-active... But yet a police officer, or a AAA operator can instantly find your records, and tell you you are wrong, and behind the 8 ball, in the middle of the night, in the rain, when the stuff has hit the fan. Agreed WHOLEHEARTEDLY that the responsibility is with the man to "take care-o'his binness" But bureaucracy is still a nasty thing, and a police officer after the fact has all the info from A to Z, at his fingertips... which he should... But trying to go to DMV is a pain in the rear, websites don't work, notices don't arrive, or look like junk-mail, and deadlines are already passed by the time you get notified, and offices are open for reduced office hours when most people are already working at their OWN jobs... and forms have to be submitted for 6 day waiting periods... Some of that is from the article, some of it is from me when buying, licensing, or trying to prepare to sell vehicles... When you try to do something right, you are met by the bureaucratic obstacle course from hell. When the stuff hits the fan, in the middle of the night, in the rain, and you need help, all of the sudden, everyone knows instantly that everything is wrong, and they can't fix it on the spot, of course... because there has to be a penalty at that point.

Also with liability only insurance, they WILL cover damages...... why do you think that there is a separate and larger fine for driving without insurance, as opposed to without registration. Maybe your state law is different, but being insured has NOTHING to do with whether or not you have paid your DMV fees....... |

Re: Has this ever happened to you
This thread serves as another exeplification how government regulations are dismissed as unimportant bureaucracy. Its amazing what lengths people will argue to deny their own personal responsibilities.

Re: Has this ever happened to you
Was that aimed at any particular individuals here? Because unfortunately in any capitalist society, people sometimes cannot afford everything they would like to, regardless of intention to take care of responsibilities. You may have noticed that theres a recession and increased unemployment, so its possible that some of the people who had their cars repossessed and their houses forclosed on WANTED to pay to keep them, but could not.

Secondly, nevermind, I can see being on the other side of the debate from you guys will only enrage you further.

What if the person in the article (it didnt mention age I think), instead of being some random guy, was an elderly WWII veteran, on a fixed income, who couldnt pay anything besides his rent, utilities, and food..... but needed his car for his independence. Would that at all change your opinion of the matter? Just a thought, I agree with the fact that theres wayyy too many freeloaders out there, and you and I might be paying into social security and getting nothing back later, its just that the good people suffer if legislature is painted using too broad a brush. |

Re: Has this ever happened to you
i hope the subject's car was crushed and his license revoked for life.
this butt-tard probably juggles a Starbucks while texting and driving and doesn't use turn signals, either, judging by the level of intelligence displayed in the story.
