The same thing would be if an Ohio driver got a ticket in Michigan, then after paying said ticket received a notice at their home in Ohio from Michigan state, claiming they are an "at risk" driver in Michigan and have to pay an additional "driver's responsibility fee"

Kind of like this - Ohio has a law that says vehicles must have a license plate on the front and back of the vehicle. Michigan only gives us one plate for the back. Several years ago I got pulled over in Ohio and was given a ticket for not having a plate on the front of my car. When I argued that I couldn't possibly have a second plate because Michigan didn't issue them, I was told "Too bad - we do"!

OMG - you should have fought that. PA has only one plate as well. I grew up minutes from the PA line. You would see as many PA cars as OH cars. This is the first time I have ever heard of this bogus trap.

Please tell us that you fought this and that legislatures in those 2 states have gotten the message.
I cannot create a second license plate if my state doesn't issue one- that would be forgery, wouldn't it?

This is just plain stupid. Is this the best that our politicians can do???

Where in Ohio was that? If it was Cleveland, you're lucky they didn't pull a gun.
