Ok, so as most of you know, I am but a memory in NYS....but of course the scumbags continue to try and fuck with you after you leave...

So 2 things....

NYS license plates....both my and my wife's cars are fully registered, insured and plated in Texas....apparently we ate supposed to surrender our plates to NYS...I have both sets sitting in the garage...

Also, just got a letter from DMV stating that my insurance company notified them that the insurance was canceled...and that I need to provide them with proof of insurance, or surrender my registration. Penalties for not doing so...suspend my registration...suspend my NYS drivers license, or the kicker..."be prevented from renewing an out of state drivers license".

My first reaction is fuck them on all coints, no longer live there, they can suck it. BUT, if they can somehow prevent me from renewing my Texas license down the road over this BS, I guess I can grudgingly satisfy them. I tried calling, to tell them directly to go fuck themselces, but of course getting a live person on the phone is impossible...

So what says the hometown hive? Is it BS, or do I need to comply?

Oh...and living down here is still...AWESOME!!

Bought some 30 round 3rd Gen P-Mags wit windows at the last show for like $10 NIP...didn't need any (found a box in the truck loaded with standard cap mags....how'd that get there?)...just did it because I could...they fit real purty in my SCAR 16...

Sorry, don't hate me....

Pick your battles.

How much was left on your NYS registration?  You might be getting some money back.

When I moved from MD back to NY in 1998, I had accumulated just enough speeding tickets to have my license suspended. But it was too late, I had already traded in a valid MD license for a clean NY license (I don't know if there is an agreement between these states now, but there wasn't then).

MD told me I couldn't drive in MD, or in NY, or anywhere. I told them that I had a valid NYS driver's license and that they could eat a bag of dicks.

Things may be different now though. You should contact an attorney and ask. Depending on how much discretionary income you have, it may be worth it to mail the NYS DMV a bag of gummy dicks and tell them how much you hope they enjoy munching on them.

Send them back.  Not worth the hassle NY will give you over "their plates".  Make sure to send them signature required so they can't say they didn't get them.  I sent ours back the day I registered here in GA.  It actually felt good to send them back  What the heck you want with NY plates anyways?

Haha!  I just looked online and they now charge a $1 'processing fee' when returning them in person!

Anyway, this should give you the info: http://dmv.ny.gov/insurance/moving-out-state

I just don't really want to take the time or spend the money to return them to the shitbags...

But I suppose I will...I will call and ask them why they need proof of insurance on a car which is no longer plated or registered there...that pisses me off more than the plates. Although we pay for the damn plates, why do they get to get them back?

When you send in the plates, that's all the proof they need that you aren't driving that vehicle in NY.  No need to send them anything else.

When I moved out of state, I nevee returned my NY plates.  Last I saw them, they were in a box somewhere a few years ago.

Been to the DMV numerous times in NY since.  They never said anything.

I would just call them and tell them that you have new insurance and new registration from another state.
I would call which ever county DMV that you used to live in...
Worst case once you actually talk to some one you fax them a copy of your new insurance and TX reg, that way you have nothing to worry about.  
Oh and the key word for your old NY plates is that you "destroyed" them when you got your new TX tags.

-It seems they have become a little stricter in recent years when it comes to active tags and insurance.

Man, I've lived in a lot of states, and I've never once had to surrender license plates to a DMV.  I have a small stack of them in the garage.  

Just one more reason to despise this state.  

98kGuy,  I'd like to advise you to tell them to piss off, but you have to keep your eyes on the prize--total emancipation from this slave state.  Just comply one more time to the fuckers and then you can wash your hands of this place forever.  You don't really want a memento anyway, right?

Your license to drive was suspended in MD. If caught, you would have been charged. Does not matter if you had a valid license from another State, they can still suspend your driving privledge in MD. NY can do the same, however the MD suspension was probably not valid in NY.

Pretty sure Texas is a signatory to the driver's license compact, so when your right to drive In NY is suspended Texas will be notified, no idea what they do

They will put your info on the national database that prevents you from renewing or replacing a driver's license elsewhere. They do the same thing to people who owe fines or more than 10,000 in taxes. I consider all that BS NYS after leaving as an "Exit Tax." They want to know when you left and how much money you made until leaving NY to tax it. Yea, even 2 weeks into the new year counts I'm sure

Weird thing is, out of state plates are proliferating here. They get no headaches because the state either don't care or go after them. They avoid the MTA surcharges and fees related to NY, but NY'ers leaving get the headaches.

I don't think that's true, because this was post Driver License Agreement, which requires all member states (both MD and NY) to honor the valid licences of other states. If the suspension had occurred before I got the NYS license, then I would not have been able to get a NYS license.

However, the "suspension" occurred after I had a NYS license, and it happened because MD did not know that I had traded in my license (it was very soon after).

MD cannot suspend a NYS license, and they are forced by the DLA to honor out of state licenses.

Similarly, NYS cannot suspend a Texas license.

The Interstate Driver’s License Compact is a contract between states that enforces a DUI arrest out of state by agreeing to honor the DUI license suspension requirements in the state in which the DUI took place. This means that if you are arrested for and convicted of a DUI in another state, that state could request a license suspension effective in your home state. The effect of the Interstate Compact on your driver’s license after a DUI conviction will depend on your state’s DUI policies and laws, so consult an experienced DUI attorney in your state to determine whether or not your state participates in the Interstate Driver's License Compact.z


If one state could suspend another state's license, they would not have needed a the DLA and they would not need to request that your home state suspend your license if you get a DUI in their state.

If you are suspended in NYS and come back into the state behind the wheel of a car  it doesn't matter that you have a valid license elsewhere

Yeah it's your right to drive in NY that is suspended. Even if you have a license from another state you still cannot legally drive in NY and are subject to criminal charges
11/4/2015 3:26:30 PM EDT

Wouldn't that make NY in violation of the DLA?

Because according to the DLA, which was signed in 1994/95, a member state has to notify the home state of actions to be taken, which the home state must then act upon. Member states cannot take action on their own against a driver's out of state license.

The DLA requires all states to honor licenses issued by other member states, report traffic convictions to the licensing state, prohibit a member state from confiscating an out-of-state driver's license or jailing an out-of-state driver for a minor violation; and maintain a complete driver's history, including withdrawals and traffic convictions including those committed in non-DLA states.

When a DLA member state receives a report concerning its drivers from a non-DLA member state, the member state will be required to treat the report the same as if it came from a member state. As with the previous compacts, the DLA requires a state to post all out-of-state traffic convictions to the driver's record, and a state must apply its own laws to all out-of-state convictions. As with the previous compacts, the DLA allows other jurisdictions to access motor vehicle records, in accordance with the Drivers' Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), and to transfer the driver's history if the driver transfers his license.

Everything in the parking lots of the projects was registered in VA, GA and SC when I was working in PSA7 in 1998... the answer was always "its my aunts car, she lives in _____, I'm just using it for a couple days..."

And the insurace for bare liability in GA was like $120 a year for an infinity G35.... so most actually had valid insurance, amazingly...

Yeah, like I said, I'll just send the damned things back, and politely tell them to stick them up their asses. Not worth the potential hassle.

Texas DPS did take my NYS drivers license when I got my new Texas license...

I like that idea...

Meanwhile, you can be an illegal scumbag, driving a stolen car, with no insurance, run over and kill upstanding citizens, and most likely at worst be given a small fine, and released, or at best full pardon, and instant citizenship...

Meanwhile, make your escape from NY as a hard working, upstanding citizen, going to a free state...and they will harass you and threaten over fricking license plates....
