LOS ANGELES - Tired of high DMV fees and long lines? That could soon come to an end under a plan proposed by Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton.
Standing outside the West Hollywood DMV office Tuesday, Hilton announced his plan to abolish the DMV as a stand-alone state agency and cut annual vehicle registration fees to a flat $73.
Making California affordable
What they're saying:
"We're going to shut down this bloated nanny state bureaucratic agency that treats Californians with complete contempt. We are done with it. Enough is enough with the DMV, enough is enough with sky-high registration rates, we are done," Hilton stated.
He said the biggest issue for Californians is the cost of living and his plan to cut registration fees is just one step of making life more affordable.
"As the governor of California, I can affect how much money we take out of Californians' pockets. And so that is the simplest, quickest way to help people with the cost of living, is for the government to take less money out of their pockets. And so that's why top of my list for changes in California is what I call a working-class tax cut. Your first $150-grand tax free. And over the course of the next few weeks we'll be laying out the plans that we have, Operation Zero Waste, to cut the bloat and the waste in our government so that we can put that money back in your pocket," he explained during the protest.

Old news. In Ontario Canada when the price of gas shot up during covid the annual registration fee was eliminated. No more annual stickers. You still had to register your vehicle each year but no fee anymore and you could do it online or in person if you were so inclined.
There will be no need for a DMV when Waymo makes car ownership unnecessary. No highway patrol. No need for insurance. No need for parking lots.
Gonna be awesome.
