Will someone explain the logic behind the registration law? Other than another reason to waste time in line at city hall.
Maybe if the police weren’t so busy providing guard service for the Buckingham Branch railroad they could track down thieves without tools like registration.
How would the police know a moped was a stolen one if it is not registered?
Hoome:
If you register your bike, it’s easier to prove that it’s stolen, and easier to get it back to its rightful owner.
Also: what the hell are you talking about?
I for one would like to see an age restriction on moped owners who drive on our highways, have them be required to have a license, and above all have liability insurance.
I am tired of seeing young teens weaving in and out of traffic without regard to our traffic laws, placing themselves and the motoring public in danger.
