My sympathies goes out to the woman legally driving her SUV take a left hand turn. Imagine you look both ways and see nothing and proceed to move and then smash! Out of nowhere a dirt bike slams into your SUV and you witness the carnage. Not only is she on her own for the repairs to her SUV, hopefully her insurance company will work with her… but she has to cope with this collision for the rest of her life, and it was no fault of hers. Hopefully maybe a few rogue riders see this as a wake up call and stop the mad max anarchy riding through city streets on recreational vehicles designed for off road use. But I have a feeling this will happen again and again. Pretty soon insurance companies will be offering uninsured motorcyclist coverage.

They are douchebags. In 2018 I bought a new car and stupidly didn't transfer the registration. I transfered my insurance. I handed in my plates a day after I was suppose to and 2 years later they made me pay hundreds of dollars to renew the more recent registration.

I had received a notice saying they were going to suspend the other registration for not having insurance on the older vehicle. Which I had transfered a few weeks previous. So I dropped off plates in person and in the end they fined me. No letter in the mail for that. They also said I didn't have proof I junked the car. I HATE RI operator control. They do not budge and they do not care.

I'm just glad they didn't hurt someone else while proving Darwin right once again.

I have done it. Also, if you go over any of the bridges with anything suspended or expired they are sending fines in the mail.

Je dirai que je trouve cela extrêmement pénible lorsque certaines de mes connaissances me disent que leurs grands-parents vivent dans ce pays depuis 20 ans et ne peuvent ni parler ni comprendre l'anglais. L'une d'elles a même mentionné un membre de la famille qui était ici depuis qu'elle était une petite fille et qui ne peut toujours pas parler anglais parce qu'elle passait tout son temps au sein de « la communauté ». Je parle des gens de la côte ouest des États-Unis que je connais mais personnellement, je crois absolument que l'anglais devrait être notre langue officielle et nous devrions essayer de faire de notre mieux pour encourager tout le monde à l'apprendre et à le parler. Peut-être que je suis un **** mais je pense qu'avoir une langue commune est la meilleure façon d'intégrer tout le monde.

I would have figured faster than 25-20 -- but when you're headed right for the wide of an SVU, you can't argue with the math.

A friend of mine laid down his bike in Boston like 20 years ago when someone turned in front of him next to the trolley tracks. He was wearing leathers and was fine, but our friend riding behind him was really ripped up -- and she was lucky he was already going so slow and knew what to do. There's often no good outcome when a bike meets a car.

Ah, right: a small area of contact with those new, pointy tires, right? Makes sense.

The car is too expensive to fix. It is a non moving violation, that seems heavy handed

This is a non moving civil violation. So I am mostly concerned if they will suspend my license over a non moving violation.

They will suspend your license. If you register the car and show them they will throw it out.

Had my license suspended for no showing/no paying same ticket like ten years ago. They also towed my car during the initial stop, that sucked

Edit: Expired Registration

I asked so i can make an educated decision. Don't be a smart ass, i asked because i don't know everything.

It is pretty damn stupid. It costs the state more to have a judge rule on a 90 dollar ticket than it does to just bill me. Id rather be out 90 bucks than show up to court at 9 am on a monday.

I can make more money, i can't earn more time on this earth.

I also recommend The Mews.

You’ll get a default judgment (you’re guilty), probably more fines, possibly your license or registration revoked. If showing up is a hardship be an adult and let them know. If you know better than them how it should have been handled, you’re gonna do you no matter what anyone says.

Going to court is always to your advantage. I've missed and skipped traffic court bc as you seem to be aware it's fucking stupid. But it doesn't end well. I have been arrested for it but I think they ended that practice for traffic court. If you show up they waive everything and charge court costs. But every situation is different. They won't kick your door down. So thats good. Let me know how it turns out. I enjoy civil disobedience myself

Oh god, I just looked at the OPs Reddit history.

“English is our official language“ is promoted by bigoted cranks who get pissy when they have to hit one for English when they call their pharmacy.

My official language is Providence native.

Kinda shocked to see so much anti-union sentiment coming from a RI sub. Is it just the Teamster you don't like or unions in general? What do you see as the issue with unions? I thought they were a pretty standing progressive thing.

Recommend Mary Murphy's in Wakefield I believe

I've always felt this way and said this,america is a melting pot of cultures languages and cultural experiences

Official languages are racist

PVD next time
