The California Highway Patrol wants us to anonymously report people we know who register their vehicles out-of-state to avoid California's outrageous Vehicle License Fees.
Report Vehicles with Out-of-State License Plates to the CHPDid you know that most traffic laws are designed solely to generate revenue, not to increase safety? Did you know that law enforcement officers often brag about disobeying laws that us mere mortals can't ignore?Did you know that the State of California loses millions of dollars a year in revenue from California residents who unlawfully register their vehicles in other states or countries?
Did you know that vehicle registration fees are due immediately upon accepting employment or establishing residency in the State of California?
Did you know that California law permits only 20 days to complete the process of registering your vehicle without paying a penalty?
Did you know that I drove around with Texas plates for over a year, only "registering" in California when I bought a new car? Did you know if I could figure out a way to do it again I would?
I moved to MA in February and the freaks at CA DMV actually sent my renewal notice to my new address.
Of course, I haven't registered the thing here, either, since it can't pass inspection until the winshield is replaced, but that's another story...
