deathpixie | Question for the US people...

And this one actually relates to my job. *grins*

I have an American guy, from Texas, claiming he didn't know he had to register his car. Now, AFAIK, registration is kind of universal, in developed countries at least, so is he trying it on?

Also, do you guys have a sticker on the windscreen of your cars that tells you when the registration is due to expire like we do? Because that's what my answer will be - you could have checked the registration sticker to find out if you were registered or not.

Edit: Thanks a bunch, guys - I reduced his costs as he never received notification, but refused to cancel the fines because he should have seen the rego sticker on his windscreen.

You go to the DMV, they give you a form, you fill it out. You get stickers.

Then you go to the mechanic sometime during the next month, and they do the inspection RIGHT THERE, and you -never- leave them with the papers.

There's no eye test for ownership of a car, licensing and registration are seperate events, and most, if not all of it, is computerized.

VA does it all online now - I haven't had to go to the DMV once for my car. Dealership gave me plates, I do the re-registering online.

There is -no- "paper work processing" its all done right there in front of you.

Sheesh. Look, I know its -annoying-, but its not as bad as all that. Hell, its not a tenth as bad as you make it out to be.

Uh, no.
