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.

They seem to have a heavy hand and are not afraid to use it for sure.

There must be quite a few people who work for the DMV on here because I even got down voted for posting the link to "Know your Rights".

People are ridiculous. If anyone here thinks all the money the DMV collects from us is going back into RI you are a living in a fantasy land. Look at the amount of tax we have to pay!! Buying the car there is tax. Then we have to pay tax to the town or cities we live in, yearly. Gas tax. Tax on mataining the vehicle. I know someone who had an expired license and couldn't get into the dmv due to covid restrictions. They let their brother borrow their car to go to work in Newport, because his car was getting fixed. She was hit with a fine and would need to go to court to prove that she wasn't driving the car. Our insurance rates are some of the highest in the country.

I am pretty liberal but the fact that cameras are set up to send out tickets is against our rights as an American Citizen.

It’s because in these peoples minds you have no rights. Just a bunch of wannabe autocrats. Real sad honestly. Then they go on about much of an adult they are and they worked so hard. What a guy. Lol
