Gov Brown Raising DMV fees $65 on motorcycles, F#ck him

My experience here in NC:
Drive 20 minutes to DMV. Really worried because my reg is 15 months overdue.
Walk in and greeted: “Hi darlin, what can I do for you?”.

5 minutes and 62$ later I drive home.

Also here they have private companies that provide for license and registration stuff. Never spent more than 15 minutes in one of those. With friendly employees, that don’t have “I can never be fired” arrogance and entitlement.
I don't think most states charge the ridiculous back fees if you don't register or PNO, you're just no longer registered (and obviously get ticketed/towed/etc if you get caught driving)

... But how will the state tax you? :laughing

Likely.
I think my moto was 42$ for new title and new plate when I bought it.
 
Haha. CA DMV horror stories remind me of the eastern european/Russian cold war era beauracracy horror stories they used to tell us in the 80s to demonstrate why communism is bad.

And no, I'm not saying CA is a communist state - but there are direct parallels of nightmarish beauracratic process & paperwork, hours-/day-long wait times, and uncaring/power-wielding govt officials/workers, lol
 
From my interaction with various Gov agencies I know that the DMV computer system would not integrate with other agencies because it was so archaic. The people working with that had to just deal with it, so if a computer upgrade is coming that is great.

Depends on who they hire to do it!

California abandons $2 billion court management system They had already spent $500 Million on it. Having seriously looked into building a system for hospital emergency rooms it quickly became apparent that you have to be very politically connected to get contracts, I'm sure the same is even more true getting government contracts, the bigger they are the more politically connected you would have to be, with the vast majority of the money paying off those politically connected people with zero development benefit, the rest is just done on the cheap.
 
Just suck it up and wake up early. I lined up at the San Mateo DMV a little after 6am on a Monday and only had 3 people in front of me. By 7 there were 20+ behind me and by opening it was down the block. Had all my stuff ready, did the online portion of it while in line, and was finished with everything and out the door by 8:15.

Just be aware it took about three weeks to get the new one by mail.

Literally, the face of Socialism.:rolleyes
 
... or supply and demand?

You're silly. :laughing
if it was a business that was trying to make money, they'd most likely increase the number of employees and try to make the employees care about getting shit done

DMV employees clearly don't care, and seem to think they're doing you a favor

Yes, my point was that saying the DMV = socialism is stupid.

your statement that it's supply and demand is stupid as well

DMV doesn't care about making people wait, so they have no reason to increase supply
 
I vote for a new thread …..
Gavin.... how can he screw us worse than Jerry?:thumbup
 
FYI our driving population has exponentially increased with our population yet we still have 1 dmv office to serve like 2x-4x amount of drivers then what it originally was designed for

Supply and demand is immutable.

Socialists in general don’t care about demand unless it’s their buddies. The State of Kommiefornia doesn’t give a shit. :wow
 
You guys are pushing the limit on me trying to leave this out of political. Please keep that in mind.
