D.Don’t forget about the insurance companies benefit from additional uninsured vehicles
a.There is a connection between CT DMV and the Auto Insurance industry. The auto insurance industry is mandated to inform DMV when your insurance expires.
b.DMV will then suspend your license until you have proof of insurance, hence the $175 restoration fee for an $84.00 piece of plastic.
E.Please note: that piece of plastic does NOT make you a better driver, it only increase revenue for the state, identifies you are who you say you are (as you have indicated??).
In my opinion Connecticut has just opted for a new cash cow. If this blog was about anything other than who stands to gain from Undocumented Workers obtaining a CT Driver’s License I would talk about the terms illegal, working, undocumented and the unemployed. …
