I was at the DMV here in Longmont, Co. yesterday and a Mexican gentleman sat down at the booth next to me wanting to register a car. The lady asked him for his driver's liscense and he pulls out a Matricular Consular card. She said "we don't accept those" and he said something to the effect that "they did in Arizona". He wanted to register a car that was in the police impound lot and for which he didn't have any insurance. Nice try. At least he was TRYING to obey our laws.
We're in beyond the point of no return with Mexico.
We've got to figure it out.
No kidding?
Here they just walk away from the impound fees and spend the money on another car. If they (usually) don't bother to register in the first place, the prior owner has to be able to prove the sale.
And, don't get too excited, a similar law in California was first ignored and then deemed illegal only a few years ago. (186??)
How do you know it was his car?
