I dont see why they would arrest you for that. I have been pulled over for wreckless driving(community service), no registration($40), no insurance($400) and with a plate off of a diffrent car, which I guess I didnt get charged for, and a suspended license. All they told me was to have my dad come and drive the car home. As soon as the cop turned the corner I jumped in and drove home.
Where are you at that cops suck so much.
hehehe..im in kuwait,im a kuwaiti national..im sure u know kuwait,the gulf country right next to iraq etc etc..here the traffic laws are so strict its unbelievable..so yeah..i got an approx $160 fine to pay before i get any of my stuff back..its not the fine thats bothering me that much..its the paperwork i have to go through to get my car back..screw my license ive been driving since i was 12 anyway
one of the cops drove my car..i got to warm up the backseat of the patrol car :)
I see,..... THat sucks. YOu should get some pictures up when you get your car back.
MA state law, ya gotta carry at least comp. they wouldnt think twice to throw ya in the clink for a few hours if you got cought with no insurance and no reg. there deffinetly gonna tow your car at a very minimum. massachusettes sucks. although, i do understand why they have the laws they do. they just get carried away with alot of stuff.
on that note. when i had my mark viii, the registration ran out. i initally got pulled over for leaving a posi strip out of a store and up the road. it was a week night and it was about 1:30 in the morning without a soul around. accept a cop apparently. i still dont know where he came from. i only had the car 3 months at the time. for some reason i thought when i transferred the plates i carried a new registration for a full year. i was wrong, it carried the remainder of the old one. they had it towed but i knew the tow truck guy so instead of towing it to there inpound/holding yard he dropped it off in my driveway.
yeah the same laws that make me pay $200 a month on a $110 car. And I havent even been in a wreck or had any insurance claims.
Your getting raped, mines like $90.
I pay $155 a month FOR 2 CARS! Or around $77.5 per car. Who ya got for insurance? I've got Allstate.
mine is 110 a month on just the TC
Mines $50 and change a month through Allstate.
You're in Kuwait??? For real??
Guess the laws are tough, as they don't want your country to wind up like the bad neighbors you mentioned...
yup im a kuwaiti national..its tough because lots of people have abused the freedom they had..now i get to suffer :(..me and my friends suffer alot..we're lunatics and always have been..stealing our parents cars at the age of 12-13..street racing since god knows when..chased by the fuzz almost on a constant basis :rolleyes: ..
I Pay 80.00 A Month For Three Cars
want to adopt me and put me on your insurance?
Broken down into months, I pay approx $97 for my Bird, the Lightning, and wifes Grand Marquis. No collision on the Bird(hey I have 2 more), but the others have full coverage. The old Cobra Jet is on a collector policy that is $210 a year... or $17.50 a month
I pay 50-60 on the Cougar a month. (Highschooler) My parents are paying insurance of the Escape because I cant afford that plus payments on it. Not working at a grocery store as a Senior. It Blows
I pay 430$/year beause i had a DUI of Alcohol in year 2000.
Otherless it should be under 200$ (Canadian) a year...
Here in quebec Laws are diff than the rest of canada i think...
When we get caught, the car is automaticly impounded for one month after you get arrested. To get the car, you have to pay 1 month impound at 15$ a day. After you receive judgment for Drunk Driving (Like i did like an idiot), we loose our permit for a year (Or 3 month with a Breathalizer connected to your car for the next 9 month)
i pay 220 a month with no accidents or listed tickets, the reckless op that i recieved was never on my record because i did a remedial class.
well here in ny i pay 115 a mounth and i have 2 points.
Cool, you're in Kuwait? Was your T-Bird originally bought there (as in, did Ford export them officially?) If so, what are the Kuwaiti specs for the car? I know there were some differences between Canadian, Mexican and American models, it would be interesting to see what the overseas models were like (if they existed)
yeah ford brought them in officially..of the Birds ive seen around here they all came with floor shifters,mine included..and none had any catalyc converters or resonators from the factory which surprised me..but there is a smog pump..question u guys..what is the actual weight of an 87 Thunderbird? here the weight put in the registration is rarely accurate..on my registration it says 4460 lbs and i dont buy that..
