SunshineGirl I know that driving is stated as a privilege but it's really a necessity in the US for people who want to be gainfully employed.
That aside, I agree with you about having to pay to play, and it would be nice if there was a way to regulate the pricing on at least the basic versions of whatever is required.
The expiration dates and the non transferable status on certain equipment really tells me what the real motivation is behind these new laws, when there was once no law at all in place to one with so many specific requirements and none of them result in money coming back to us.
You know what else I've noticed... cellphones used to come with mic'ed earbuds. Then they made a law about having to be using your phone hands free when diving. Then cellphones quit coming with mic'ed earbuds.
Something similar happened when they made a law about having to drive with headlights on whenever it's raining. That's the exact same time cars quit coming with daytime running lights.
It's like the deck is being stacked against us. .."license, registration and proof of insurance" must be provided whenever we're pulled over by police. Eventhough, the tag is visible on the rear license plate, you can't get a car registered without it being insured, and that car the cop is driving has the ability to check all that before the cop ever gets out of the their car.
Yet we still have to keep all that paperwork together when our insurance policies don't usually coincide with our registration dates, and many of us maintain multiple vehicles, some of them require 2 registrations, like boats on trailers
😅 omg. Dont get me started on that demonstration of frustration. ..its about a time when I had to explain to one of the people at DMV what a boat trailer was.
DMV: hol'on 'Jayciedubb.' What a boat trailer. ..its like a trailer that floats?
Me: No. It's a trailer for the boat.
DMV: Oh, I see. It's a trailer you pull with the boat?
Me: No. It's a trailer I put the boat on so I can tow the boat.
DMV: REALLY!? How do you get the boat on top of the trailer?
Me: *facepalm* is there anyone else who can help me with this...
