A deputy sheriff friend of mine told me a year or so ago that the state troopers are now seizing license plates off of vehicles that are uninsured. At the time it sounded like a good thing and I told him at least it would get half the Mexicans off the roads around here.
Yesterday I get woken up by a call from a neighbor saying a trooper just pulled a snatch and run with my f*cking license plate. I walk out to my truck to find this:
Apparently traffic offenses have gotten so low in this state that they made a division that just goes around and jack’s license plates. So now State Troopers are the equivalent to a halfass repoman with a gun and a badge who don’t posses the common f*cking courtesy to knock on the door and say “Hey, can you provide proof of insurance?”
Seeing as I’ve never had a late payment on anything in my life, much less a lapse in insurance, I was pretty f*cking irate. This morning I go to the DMV with my Geico policy and poi card in hand only to be told “Sorry, we can’t accept that. You have to call your insurance company and have them fax us your information”. I call Geico (who’s customer service kicks ass) and the lady is nice and very effective. I got back inside and the b*tch behind the counter finally walks her fat ass over to the fax machine 15 minutes after my paperwork came off then takes another 15 minutes to stare blankly at it. Finally she gives me a new plate and registration and says “sorry about the trouble, have a good day ” to which I reply “sorry state jobs do not require an IQ test, have a good day”.
Don’t get me wrong, this state does have it’s good points. For instance, going down to Isle of Palms and having a few beers then kicking the sh*t out of some loud mouth tourist from NY. That's always good for a laugh.
I’m joking, I really love New Yorker’s....as long as they're female and hot.
