If you were anywhere else but NY....the cops would be asking this guy about the length of time he’s had the car in NY and his permission to have the car would have been checked out.
I know in the DC region...they have a big problem with folks moving in and keeping their homestate tag on the car....pretending to avoid the VA or DC car tax gimmick, and pay less on insurance.
The biggest insurance shock in my life was when I took my car from Ala to AZ, and met up with the insurance agent to update my state deal. Same company....different rates...I was going to pay roughly 50-percent more in AZ.
We in WI pay $75 per year for the privilege of driving on our pothole filled roads. In addition to one of the highest gasoline taxes in the country.
Probably because a lot of people retire to AZ and they’re not the best drivers. You should not move to MD. I pay $1200 for 6 mos on a 16 year old SUV and a one year old Hyundai.
