If the light turns red before you clear the intersection you pay $75.00.

Which makes sense, I reckon.

I've been told that there are very stringent rules for automobile registration in Maryland, you have to have some kind of certified test and you have to get two license plates on your car (front and back)?  Does this cost a lot?  Is there anything else I'm forgetting?

Ok, so you have MI plates and you need to get MD plates... MD law says you when you live in MD for 60 days you have to get aMD drivers license and title and plates for your vehicles.. if not that neighbor that hates you could turn you in.


To get the plates, yes, 2 plates.. (they fuck you hard if you don't have a front one) you will need to title your car in MD which is now $50 (was $35), pay for state inspection, emission test (depending on where you live.. it's not required down here on the shore) and pay for registration.
 

I have to get new plates this August when my birthday rolls around, and register my car in this state for the first time instead of Michigan.

On the other hand, I may just try to re-up my plates/regs in Michigan when I go back for a friend's wedding in July and claim my folks address to avoid this hassle if I can do that.

I don't recommend keeping the MI plates and driver's license unless you plan on moving back sometime in the near future. MD cops are assholes and when they pull you for out of state plates they will ask you things like place of employment and proof that you have been in MI recently, such as a recent fuel receipt.

Jesus fucking christ I'm not sure how to even keep straight the number of things I'm going to have to incinerate money on to register my car and get a license.

Cops will do that here, too.  They'll also tailgate you for miles and if you speed up, they'll pull you over.  They do all sorts of shitty stuff to trick you into violating a traffic law when they're interested in pulling you over.

Why dont they just stop you? Cops here will, regardless of driving behaviour. Most times they just want to check you out, get their quota of names in their book. Costs a few minutes, but I've never received a fine for one of these random stops.

Because there isn't any revenue in pulling over someone who is just driving along, minding their own business.

Right now in Queensland we have unmarked "boy racer" cop cars with vanity plates baiting drivers at the lights.

That's entrapment though ....

That's entrapment though ....

Yeah, because cops anyplace care about entrapment.

That's entrapment though ....

It doesnt take much to "bait". Just tap the gas ...keep it below the definition of hooning and bingo your prey lights up the rears....or fronts if its a jap car.

See, it's why I've NEVER done that ....

The rev of an engine is like crack to these gen Y fuckers.

Hey, I'm Gen Y, got a problem with that?

You don't have a car, so, NO ....

Ok cool.

The rev of an engine is like crack to these gen Y fuckers.

Some Gen X fuckers still like a rev of an engine too... expecially when the rears light up. And I mean a rev, not that sewing machine whine that them rice mobiles produce.

to be sure.

I dig the ricemobiles.

I'm not saying that I don't ...

Nissan GTR.

game over.

*sigh*
I'm not saying there's none out threre ....

I know. I just wanted to ram it home. Joy aint here dude....so bend over and take it like a man.

*sigh*
Ok ...

*grabs ankles and spells "RUN"*

You know I cant spell ...ffs.

Ever driven the Hunan Panda? It makes good pupu!

I dig the ricemobiles.

The rice mobiles I'm thinking of are Hyundai Accents, or Kia whatever the fuck they are... what I see around Box Hill being driven by kids who do everything to their cars except mechanical work. GTR's and that kind of car are out of their league.

Something like this:

"Anti-Rice" ....
