Kids will never know the enjoyment of having a 300 pound Registry cop giving you the test. My oldest daughter had to have a woman Statie give her the road test, I was in the back seat and this woman was my size. My daughter rolled through a stop sign and i stupidly said something...the Statie turned around and put her finger in my face and told me to shut up and had my daughter start again.
I agree but can tell you my experience with that god awful place goes back long before covid. I could tell you stories I swear you wouldn’t believe. I have a cdl and a disability so no AAA or online for me. No sir I have the distinct pleasure of always having to deal with these bumbling numb skulls in person.
I got flunked for faded plates a few years ago. Didn’t actually get an R, the dude told me it would fail. I just go over it with a red sharpie now before inspection
correct, typical govt. pukes exploiting the system.
As far as I know they never had armed guards before they shut down for the Wuhan flu. Leominster RMV used to be across the street from my complex and they never had security. So now WE pay contractors to protect useless State employees who don't want to go to work to do the job we pay them to do and who snear at us when we ask them why they're incompetent and don't give a shit. Yes I think it's a result of the Wuhan flu shutdown because they know the public is pissed at them.
Maybe not all but Braintree and Brockton have had them long before the China virus
I have issued plates for people doing the entire thing remotely... just sayin'. Might require you to FedEx/mail the original Title/paperwork, but a lot of it can be done remotely.
Sorry, did you say "smart", "employees" and "RMV" in the same sentence?
Ugh, give it a rest Mr. Veggie!
Oh yes, I do some things on line but most of my transactions have to be done in person for previous stated reasons. The other day was for work. Had to register a town vehicle and get blue plates. The whole fiasco started when my co worker whose name the appointment was under called in sick so they sent me. The old hag checking me in wouldn't let me pass go because my name wasn't on her list. The mind numbing stupidity that followed is too much to list and like I said you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you. Its insane to me that people can be that dumb.
It may be valid for you but it sounds like foolishness to me. So I don't renew my government issued license and get pulled over. What then, do I shoot the cop who tows my car and cuffs me? Don't be a jerk, some things you do to remain in society. Did you renew your license or are you prepared to go to war with the government? So just give it a rest!
You said "live free or die" then told us about renewing a government ID. You dont see the irony in that?
Sounds like most of the open carry people in North Carolina.
No, I don't see the irony. There are certain things that are done in order to live in a free society. Your position is antagonistic and foolish. Stop trying to be the forum clown.
If I knew you were going to get so upset, I wouldn't have said anything.
You nailed it. A few years ago my car failed inspection because of my plates. I said what’s wrong with them, he said you can’t read the numbers…I said you are failing me because my plates are too white! He was not amused and a month later after dealing with the registry (in Lowell, with an armed guard) I got my shiny new ones.
I am not upset about having to pay to drive on the roads. Hell, the cash probably just covers the cost of the plastic. What bothers me is that you come out of the woodwork whenever someone says NH is a great place to live with some foolishness about paying for our freedom or some similar baloney.
I'd say most are worthless but there's usually one non clueless one, if you're lucky. In one rare case a non shitbird rmv employee saved my sanity. Ages ago when my grandfather passed, i inherited a car none of the c***s in there knew how to do the title application and the broad started blowing smoke, a character ill refer to as zeke the janitor, an older guy with glasses, overheard the c***s bloviation and politely shut her down and grabbed my papers and started showing her shit on the computer. He was like “this isn’t a big deal, he has all the paperwork. See this from the probate court? It’s his car. do this this and this blah blah” them he walked away and, sheepishly collected the money and i left with a registration and plates and told me the new title would come in x weeks….
People in MA don’t realize how bad it sucks until they live somewhere else for a bit.
