“It seems to me that NYS DMV Commissioner Schroeder missed the point. Drivers are not taking issue with replacing damaged plates but the governor’s program FORCES drivers to replace plates, regardless of condition. As far as the technology excuse, other states haven’t replaced plates nearly as many times as New York and when I travel through cashless tolling I still get the bill! And, in some states there’s NO TOLL at all. When it comes to inspecting plates, New York already has a vehicle inspection process. Vehicles already get inspected from top to bottom every year and we’re already paying for it – we shouldn’t have to pay again!”
