Plates, Registration, and Impounding of Vehicles

[Joey]

Mhm, we can load the vehicle that has its registration expired for months and then grab a state/owned car to visit the DMV and purchase a 7-days registration?
Please elaborate the underlined text.

It means that you don't need to load the vehicle that has expired registration, but you can use a vehicle with an active registration.

Registration can be payed by going to the DMV and typing /payregistration. After typing the command a list of owned vehicles will appear showing which dates the vehicles were last paid. Typing /payregistration [plate#] will renew that vehicles registration making it legal to drive for the next 7 days.

You don't need to take the particular vehicle there.

 7 days feel kinda less. 10 days may be good

[Joey]

Its not less if you are active enough.

Well, I have a small problem. Why can't it be a one-time fee for 1 plate - for 1 car - the whole time? if you keep it 7 days, many poor people (like me) could not pay 10000$ in 1 week. if they dont pay, its illegal. and there are a bunch of poor people, who cannot pay, thus, freecops can use the CMD, used in the idea, and cause havoc to the server.

i support this, but keep $10000 as a one-time fee for a plate...

The custom plate would be a one-time payment, if you have it customised.

The fees that would be per week:

1-3 owned vehicles: $50 per vehicle
4-7 owned vehicles $75 per vehicle
8-9 owned vehicles $100 per vehicle
10+ owned vehicles $150 per vehicle

and also, where exactly, would we be doing the /payregistration CMD? I dont think LC has an established DMV - I think there is one on the 3rd island...

Its an idea, it's not implemented yet.

There is no place picked out, DMV could share space with SSDS or a new building could be found for it.

The Liberty Transport Authority building could be a good place for it, it's right next to FBI HQ in Broker. Finally a use for it and this way more buildings will have a meaning and actually be used for something.

Fees:

1-3 owned vehicles: $50 per vehicle
4-7 owned vehicles $75 per vehicle
8-9 owned vehicles $100 per vehicle
10+ owned vehicles $150 per vehicle

I think keeping vehicles the way its still in the game is enough , And it will not suit the newcomers who are poor and maybe got a bike to pay fees every week , or at least make it  life-time.

The LCPD isn`t hunting people on the plates like you would imagine 24/7, especially when you drive lawfully and don`t take our attention, so the chance of actually getting caught is small.

And if you do get caught, then you`ll pay a fine once... maybe twice? I am sure nobody would make the same mistake 3 times in a row, am I right?

[JackDockz]

There can be 2 modes of payment depending upon the kind of vehicles.
1. Lifetime registration. Which will cost much more and is only available for cheaper vehicles or just the cheap 2 wheelers.
2. Weeky registration. Costs less and is specially for 4 wheelers and costly vehicles.

In addition, new players can get a grace period before they start paying the fees.
