It wouldn't surprise anyone here to learn you were screwed while sitting
on Santa's lap. How many times have you been ticketed while in the mall
because your car insurance had expired?

Yet another ID for rec.boats, eh? You tire of PsychoSnotty?

BTW, the spring semester at UCONN starts in about two months. Maybe you
could sell that motorbike and use the proceeds to send your daughter to
college. Storrs is what, about 25 miles away? How bad could tuition and

It is typical that you start out with an assertion and then prove it
wrong.

You started with a guy involved in a hit and run accident properly
seeing and remembering a tag number of a car speeding away, then you
give an example of a cop who couldn't even get it right when he was
stopped behind you. ... and he is supposed to be a trained
professional doing his job calmly, not an untrained person who was
just in a car accident.

Oh, man........ I really expected you to think rationally, unlike Scotty
and Bill...

We all know the only purpose of license plates is to generate bucks for
the state, right, Greg?

Certainly in the states that tack on a huge excise tax every year.
It can be almost $600 a year in Indiana (one year old $42,000 car)

I already said, I think tags should be issued by insurance companies.
No insurance, no tag. That is far more relevant for most victims of
bad drivers than the tax stamp they have become. You would know
immediately which insurance company you should be calling and the cops
could more easily identify uninsured motorists.
The current DMV records are dreadfully inadequate for that. The
insurance company has no easy way to get the record updated when a
person drops or simply fails to pay their insurance. If it was
controlled by the insurance company, the tag would be made invalid in
the cops computer immediately.

I suspect we will all have transponders in our cars soon anyway and
the whole tag thing will be an anachronism. The cops will have the id
if every car and likely driver they get close to popping up on their
computer. They already have tag scanners that do that on the fender
but it is somewhat flawed by the artistic designs if the tags.

Here insurance proof is electronic. No insurance, no tag, don't even
have to show a paper copy. Insurance lapses, tag is deemed invalid, LEO
runs the tag, finds out that uninsured and therefore tag is invalid, go
to jail, car towed.

While we're on the subject. Why did you let all of those fine schools in
the Northeast slip through your fingers? It's pretty obvious that your
choice, KCC, didn't prep you properly to be a contributor to society.
Life is all about choices and you made some bad ones.

He needs to collect rent from 4 different "deadbeat renters" in 5 years
first.

One in five years is understandable. Maybe even two. But four in five
years seems a little unusual. Maybe there's something screwy with the
common denominator involved with these rentals.

If it is the house he used to live in before his daddy died and left him
a better house, it is understandable. The house I recall is in the
middle of an industrial sector, with all sorts of trash in the yard and
problems with electricity and water and probably heating, too. Wanna bet
there are rats, mold and roaches?

It's too bad the kid isn't going to UCONN or some other decent state
college in Connecticut. She could learn a useful trade and earn a good
living, something that ain't gonna happen with motorbike racing.

Yes, exactly. I have an aquantence who bought six houses on the cheap.
Forclosures for the most part. He rents those houses and has for five
years total. I asked him the other day about deadbeats, and he's lost a
total of four months rent for six houses for five years.
