Re: Vehicle Registration - this feels like a scam
that's not bad...that's less than the extra you'd pay for having a basic vanity plate down here never mind a nice charity plate.

Re: Vehicle Registration - this feels like a scam
I sense a thread...
"Property Tax - this feels like a scam"
Why must I pay every year to show I am still the owner of my house?"
shall we move onto a discussion about TV licenses?

But these are all held and verified electronically, the cost of which is less than peppercorn and also, why do I have to pay if all these things are OK?

Very ironic, considering what you asked in your very first BE post.
Look, you have basically 4 options: Keep your car and pay the registration fee, keep your car and DON'T pay the registration fee (with possible consequences), sell your car, or move to a location where residents aren't charged annual registration fees. The choice is yours.

Re: Vehicle Registration - this feels like a scam
So, I guess you think that all the people who have outstanding tickets, no car insurance, suspended/revoked drivers licenses and/or unsafe cars will just willingly come forward and voluntarily pay their registration fees? And that the authorities should simply take everyone else's word for it that they're "OK" with nothing to hide?

Re: Vehicle Registration - this feels like a scam
I listed the 4 options available to you, and there was nothing unclear or confusing about my post. I can therefore only assume that you're referring to yourself in the above post. Please get some rest, take your meds, and give this issue another think when you are more clear- and level-headed.
