At least Beige didn’t call the cops on Black just for trying to cash a paycheck at the bank.

I imagine they were going right on red, beige wasn’t planning on stopping and black wasn’t planning on going yet?

Some woman r ear-ended me leaving a shopping center because she didn’t think I was going to stop at the stop sign. I chewed her out but her car looked way worse than mine so I left.

I read that article this morning and am still trying to wrap my head around it.

Basically, Huntington is the ultimate wypipo (yes, I’m using that correctly) bank up here.

I’d list all the discrimination lawsuits they’ve settled, but I don’t have two days to write it up.

I’d never get any work done with that intersection right outside my window.

The other night, my daughter got rear ended by a 17-year-old who was uninsured. When the girl’s mother showed up at the scene, she was irritated that the police had been called. I live in California and I have a good friend who is CHP and he says that driving sans insurance is only an infraction. $800-1,000 fine, but only and infraction. So the car isn’t impounded, et cetera.

Yeah. My wife was up in Boondock County and some (white trash loser ) lady backs into our car and makes a big speech about how she’s not insured and she’ll take care of it if we just gave her a chance, yada yada. Some scratched paint and some plastic bumper that doesn’t quite stay right any more, and Wifey be like, “It must suck to be you. Later.” (My wife didn’t really say it that way, but that’s the gist of it.)

That’s why I say some peoples’ cars are too nice.

Wow, that’s just... wow. Why even bother having an FR law at all then?

Ohio does not fuck around with insurance. First offense is a minimum 90 day suspension on the spot, immediate revocation of your registration with a $160 additional reinstatement fee , minimum 2 years of SR22 insurance, and the court can assess additional fines of up to $650.

That’s first offense. And when I say on the spot, I mean, the police take your license and registration right there . You don’t get it back. You don’t get to drive home. You don’t get to ‘just clear it up’ tomorrow. They take your license, registration, and your plates. On. The. Spot.

Second offense? Automatic FULL YEAR suspension, $360 to be allowed to register and plate ANYTHING again, must carry SR22 insurance for up to 10 years (which costs 4-8x as much as regular insurance,) you ARE going to court, it is going to cost you at LEAST $1000, and you WILL need a lawyer to request limited driving privileges after 15 days. Oh, and instead of just taking your plates? They take your car . Yep - straight to impound.

And that’s if you aren’t in an accident. More than $400 in damage, you’re uninsured excluding weekend grace period, and you’re at fault or it’s a no fault? Automatic 2 year suspension, plus indefinite suspension until you pay all court costs and damages. That’s first offense .

I don’t pretend to understand racism beyond normal human tribal allegiance , but I do seek to understand it (at my peril, much of the time).

I can say that grocery store branches of banks are MUCH more attuned to the red flags of scammer s than regular banks, just because they’re more often the targets. But banks are also probably the MOST overregulated, mandatorily anti-racist institutions in society and this stuff STILL happens. Facepalm.

Yeah, I guess that is why I was so dumbfounded having w ork ed in a bank branch ( albeit not Huntington) . I know that some systems require manager approval for transactions over a certain amount but that’s as far as it ever went . Even if a customer was turned away due to not enough verification (which this guy clearly had) the cops would not be called. Facepalm indeed.

As it should be.

This sounds like heaven to me down here in uninsured motorist he ll.

Just a couple weeks ago my mother was rear ended at a very dangerous intersection. The an gl e of the road she was on is pretty acute to the road she was turning on and the visibility is really bad so she was craning her neck a lot to see what was coming. When she was rear ended the impact made her hit her head on the A-Pillar. The accident also reinjured some preexisitng infirmities (herniated disk in her back, arthritis, etc.)

Anywho, they get out, exchange information, but later when my mom calls to make a claim she finds out the insurance is no longer valid because the person had stopped paying for it.

Apparently it’s a really common thing around here to buy the cheapest insurance that one can so they can pass inspection/registration, and then after that, they stop paying it. That way you have an insurance card that looks valid, even though it’s not.

So now my mother is facing potentially thousands in medical expenses and repairing her car on her insurance, and she’s been told by a personal injury attorney that if she were to sue, not much would probably come of it as someone not paying their car insurance probably doesn’t have the means to pay for her expenses.

And the criminal gets away with it.

You’re goddamn straight. Unfortunately, our OVI laws are total fucking joke . Six DUIs in a year? You might get party plates and driving privilege restrictions. I know of at least two instances of OVI fatalities where the driver still has a license .

You read that right. Because t here’s literally no path for the state to permanently revoke your license. The worst penalty they can impose is putting you on the ‘Habitual OVI Registry’ which publishes your name, DOB, home address, and OVI convictions. That’s it.
