The only time the state asks for proof of insurance is at the point where you go to register the car. When you buy a car from an honest dealer, they apply for paper plates at the moment of purchase, which requires you to have insurance.

However, you can buy a car from a private party, sign the title over, and just not apply for plates, temporary or permanent, from the MVA. You would do this if you didn't live in Maryland and were going to title the car in a different state, as the MVA won't give temporary plates to people who don't live in Maryland.

So let's say you (a Maryland resident) buy a car from a private party. You can get a Maryland title without needing insurance. But, you can't get plates from the MVA until you prove to the MVA that you have insurance. You don't want to pay for insurance. What do you do instead? You buy fake temporary tags from a guy off Craigslist and drive around uninsured.

the prior comment is saying you can get away with going to hotel pools, and my response is in line with what they said, not about them literally being free to the public. but to try to give you an actual answer, i don't have a pool but what i've heard is that for liability reasons most home insurance policies want you to have a fence around your pool so that it's clear that a trespasser has crossed your fence to swim in your pool, in case they want to sue you for something after that.

This was posted on our Facebook Baltimore Uber/Lyft driver page…

Sooooo....my friend was told by her cop friend that on at least 2 occasions...the robbers called an Uber. Upon arrival the Uber driver was abducted and placed in the trunk of the vehicle. The robber then started accepting Uber rides using the drivers app and vehicle. Once he gets a customer in the car......he takes them somewhere and another car pulls up with several men in it. They take the customer to the atm and make them withdraw cash.

My record so far is three years.

Edit: I think someone took this to mean that I've had an expired temporary tag for three years. No: the worst one I've seen so far was a car with temporary tags that expired nearly three years ago.
