And that figure reflects the $370 I paid In February on my 9 year old pickup ! Seems like many people are taking vehicles off the road, as too expensive to operate. California has so screwed itself. I marvel at how far we have fallen on a weekly basis. Sigh.
I see no rational reason for the drop off in Vehical tax revenue to that extent other than some error in the numbers.
I don’t think it’s just ‘taking them off the road’ because of the expense as you experience....The change is 102,386 to 2,573! .....that’s much much more than just taking it off the road. It is taking it out of the state! That, and probably every illegal in the whole damned state finding out where to buy fake registration stickers and/or plates.
That is disgusting. In Ohio a license plate costs 45 dollars, no other taxes or fees, that's all. No matter how expensive or how new the car (or pickup) is.
