My suggestion would be for plates to follow the person- right now a person can buy a used jalopy with fairly new tabs from a private owner and drive around until they crash again and/or get their 10th DUI(usually why they don't have insurance in the first place)
I knew someone who sold a car in Minnesota and the buyer never converted the plates, the state tried to go after the seller, when the buyer crashed. It’s a stupid system. Plates should stay with the person not the car.
LOL!
Lobbyist Alert!
How many Insurance Companies are headquartered in Minn.?
I once proposed to my State Senator that he pursue what I called the “I don’t care about your personal problems auto insurance reform” Bill.
It would include among other things 5-10 year sentences for being caught driving without insurance. Half a dozen sentences would cause people to get insurance or quit driving.
He agreed with me but it never got proposed.
Politicians and lobbyists will concoct a way for illegals and other moochers to have car insurance paid by taxpaying citizens.
Maybe it will be “The Affordable Auto Insurance Act”.
They could call it “Obama-Car”.
Shout "Immigration!" at a Home Depot parking lot.
The uninsured should be required to have a sticker on their car stating they’re uninsured.
“Motorists don’t have to show proof of insurance when renewing a vehicle’s registration”
well d.oh.
Pay me a million and I’ll do a study suggesting a way for govt to verify they have insurance
It could be futile, anyway.
In Nebraska, you do have to show proof of insurance at registration renewal, but seemingly a person could buy a policy for one month every year, then let it lapse after being able to show the paid-to date is one month out from the annual registration renewal.
Here are some clues. They have dark hair. They have darker skin tone than most. They speak poor, if any, English.
Just tryin' to help.
In Tennessee we have uninsured motorist coverage. If they have no insurance, your insuror pays and then goes after the other party.
They have no mercy. My wife got hit, the offending party didn’t pay and then later called her and bitterly complained and whined because not only did the insurance company make her life miserable they added charges for costs of collection.
I know that in New York State, which I fled in 1980, they now impound your car when your state-controlled insurance agency notifies them that you haven’t paid. Seriously. They tow it away and lock it up.
Of course, not if you are an illegal alien.
New Hampshire requires insurance or a bond. Maine requires neither.
Live free or die.
The reason some can't afford is because of white privilege!
