Burning Atlanta

I'd just read something within the last week or so about the number of ILLEGALS that drive in California without a license or insurance. Have a wreck? No problemo!! Just haul ass across the border. Anyway, even though this doesn't specifically target illegals it may have a positive effect and act as a further incentive for them to get out of Dodge, or Sacramento, whichever the case may be. I haven't heard anyone screaming, "Racist" yet, but just give it a little while.

SACRAMENTO — Since Oct. 1, the Department of Motor Vehicles has notified more than 180,000 car owners in California that it is moving to suspend their auto registrations because their cars are uninsured.

Hundreds of thousands more suspension warnings are expected to go out in the months ahead as the state's latest crackdown on uninsured motorists moves into high gear.


The suspension notices follow the department's first systematic comparison of a computerized roster of registered car owners with an electronic list of insured vehicles that is updated by insurance companies every time a driver buys, renews or cancels a policy.

"Driving without insurance is against the law, and now the department has the ability and the authority to suspend registration if we don't receive proof of coverage," DMV spokesman Mike Marando said.
