The California DMV used to charge an additional $4 for on-line vehicle registration renewal. It was astonishingly ridiculous.
As I was writing the check today, I thought it might be a topic for a good old fashion rant. I went to the DMV webpage and was delighted to find out they got with the 90′s and there is no longer an additional fee. Wow, progress in government offices.
And that’s how I lost a good rant…
There is a similar uproar over paying fees by credit card. All we ever hear about is how merchants are not allowed to impose a surcharge for paying by credit card, but somehow it is OK for the government to do it. They even brazenly admit that it’s a “convenience fee”. What a joke. But I’ll take whatever I can get as far as eliminating stupid DMV fees. One down, a bunch to go!
The fees are out of control at the DMV!
