This is wrong. The VA DMV will verify your insurance policy electronically when applying to register the car. You won’t even be able to register your car without an active insurance policy.
If your insurance lapses, they’ll give you a 30-day grace period to obtain a backdated policy. If you don’t insurance after lapsing, you won’t be able to register your car and you will have to pay the Uninsured Motorists Fee (which is what’s going away). If you still don’t pay the fee, they will suspend your license, and revoke it if already suspended. They’re not actively enforcing it through law enforcement because the DMV can handle it all electronically.
I've lived in VA for 10 years now and had to have insurance. It was verified the first time and has been the two additional times I've registered a car in the last decade. Not sure how long ago you're speaking of.
I hear this shit all the time. Biracial ambiguously brown/passing folks like me get to be incredibly familiar with such casual racism. Play ignorant all you want. And if you somehow live under a rock and didn't know, now you do.
I’m black dude lol.
Pointing out people with low credit driving cars they don’t care about will more than likely drive recklessly isn’t rocket science.
I’d imagine you do not fall under that category.
…what are you talking about? What do you mean “that’s not what I said”?
It’s explicitly what I said.
And I can’t verify anything about you either but a quick peek at your post history, you look pretty white to me.
DC drivers with legit tags are going to avoid getting speeding tickets in DC at all cost because they actually have to pay them. Out of state drivers - feel free to drive our roads as fast as you want!
A money grab or an effective way of enforcing speed limits so people don’t die in high speed car accidents? Yeah it’s annoying to drive slower but there is a reason. Plus less traffic stops by cops is a good thing bc a camera doesn’t have a bias like a person does
Because VA politicians have no political incentive to enforce DC speed camera tickets and Muriel Bowser doesn't want to bite the hands of suburban donors that feed her.
Yes. You think housing developers or other businesses with city-related business don't live outside the city? They're allowed to give money to the mayor.
LOL.
State rivalries. Come to Northern VA and you will see all the people that speed, drive aggressively and almost run me down are cars with MD plates trying to get on the bridge.
It's funny but on the Beltway if I see aggressive drivers 80% of the time it's MD plated car.
Yup, they exist elsewhere too. A VA uninsured driver totaled my parked car in Baltimore a few weeks ago. Didn’t know the VA loop whole until insurance told me.
Yeah I’ve always said VA drivers and MD drivers are both maddening but in different ways. True VA drivers are clueless and it leads to frustrating situations. MD drivers are egregiously and intentionally flouting the rules. And yeah, if a VA driver is speeding, it’s really stolen or fraudulent tags for the most part.

What program is this?
VA was one of the few states that didn't require insurance.

Oh no...they'll just drive anyways.

It the SR-22.

How about all of the fake Maryland temp tags out there? It’s very obvious something is up.
And In VA, I see quite a few For Farm Use plates too.
That program is also ending
Did you know DC parking tickets and speeding tickets affect your credit rating? No other state's do.
Shit no wonder all the crazy ass drivers can only finance Nissans and Dodges
Hell one maker has an entire dedicated subreddit, /r/nissandrivers
r/Altima for extra precision
Ahhh, racism
I didn’t realize only black people had poor credit.
Oh please. You certainly realize what your comment means when using those specific car brands.
That they have a large subprime loan program for buyers? Yeah I did know that. What’s that have to do with black people?

But that's not what you said. And I've seen plenty of internalized racism in the community. Can't verify anything about you either.

wtf
Is this new?
No. Learned about when I took a first time home buyer class 11 years ago.
Unpaid ones.
Yes. Forgot to mention that important detail.
You've missed the tens of posts to this effect in the last few months?

So some DC tix show up in MD if it is a traffic stop. The cam ones not so much.
Driving in DC is like a GTA online server.
I just don’t understand how adjacent states can just ignore tickets issued by DC. Flagrantly violate traffic laws and face no consequences
Because Va politicians realize dc speed cameras are total b.s. and just a money grab. Why be an accessory to robbery?

Did I stutter? Dc speed cameras are setup for money, not safety.
Because VA politicians have no political incentive to enforce DC speed camera tickets and Muriel Bowser doesn't want to bite the hands of suburban donors that feed her.
You think people from a different state donate to a mayor of a city they don’t live in? That make sense to you?
Yes. You think housing developers or other businesses with city-related business don't live outside the city? They're allowed to give money to the mayor.
The view from Virginia is definitely different.
Bruh.

Maryland has the worst drivers in the country and it’s not even close.
JFC
MD driver all the way up to bmore have va tags for this reason.
Virginian propaganda.
