I am confused as I just paid $128 to renew my registration but according to the fee schedule online it’s by weight and my car only weighs about 4900 lbs so I should have paid a lot less. Can someone please explain this?

It looks like you were charged the 5001-6000 lbs rate.

Registration renewal is for 2 years:

Annual fee: 2x48=$96
DOT surcharge: 2x15=$30
Technology surcharge $2.50
Total $128.50

the nerve of these crooks charging us this for 2 years to have a car — this should cost $10

Nobody understands the DMV. It’s really just a tax collection agency.

hey everybody public service anouncement

check your RI license plates for the decal lining coroding and peeling away

I noticed my plates were all corroded n nasty looking and made the decision to buy new ones from the DMV

IMHO it is extremely unlucky bad juju to be riding around with your official numbers all cooroded, like thats just inviting .......nasty things to come your way

anyways, since Ive noticed my plates, Ive seen the same cooroded melting license plates on a bunch of cars

its invisible untill you notice it for the first time, then you see it everywhere

anyways, eradicate that officially stamped malice get new plates

No modern country has a retirement age that young that’s an unrealistic pipe dream. Also worth pointing out the European countries that have retirement ages more to your liking have high tax rates. If you want an earlier retirement age, fund the social safety net through (you guessed it) taxes!

Im forced to pay into it, damn straight I’m taking the distributions, but I’d rather it not exist at all. People need to be responsible with their own money. Some states done have state income tax and their roads are in better shape than those that do!
