Hi guys,
While I was out of country for almost 3 months, my insurance got expired.
After I came back to the US, I noticed that my registration and license are suspended for 100 days
I explained my situation to DMV ladies that I was out of country and my insurance company did not accept international credit cards and this is my only car and how am I going to go to school and work and blah blah blah
But they were so stubborn
It had been 10 days now... 89 more days to go.
Is there anyone had similar experience with me?
I feel so lonely w/o Rx8

Try a petition to the DMV, they all have such addresses/etc. I had a similar, tho not quite so severe issue when a dealer that I traded a car in at never turned in the old plates, even though I turned them over to them and they signed for it. Yeah, not the best idea, but it was my first time trading a car so didn't know any better. 2 years later, when re-registering, they tried hitting me with $6000 in late fees for not turning in the tags. I dug out my paperwork and sent in a petition, and they dropped it.
Also, did they suspend it the day or the day before you got back? was that just crappy timing or they didn't even start it until you got back? seems rotten. I would think the timer would start from the initial point of "offense".
You should be able to petition that though, just gather your paperwork and write a clear professional letter.

I don't understand something here. I can see your registration being suspended without valid insurance. Why does that have jack to do with your license being suspended? If you didn't illegally drive or allow the vehicle to be driven, you have done nothing wrong, unless your license expired while out of the country. Even then, it should be an easy matter to reinstate it. Something else has happened.....

A quick Google search indicates that you need to surrender your plates. They can in fact suspend your license for not having insurance on a vehicle and not turning in the plates. Apparently this is there way of making sure you don't just cancel your insurance and drive the vehicle using the plates. Kind of *** backwards IMO. I suspect if you turn the plates in you should get your license back in short order but it will be costly. Its $25 + $12 each day it was uninsured.
Are you by chance military?

I am not military, I just took time off from school and traveled. My another concern is maintenances. How can I keep my rx-8 in good condition? Should I red line it in neutral?

there is a late fee penalty if you don't register it after it's expired and then you are required to pay additional fees for when it was not registered. That is for Iowa...but I wouldn't think it's any different there.

Seriously, what's wrong with NY state? Not only DMV but every government sectors in NY state. I never got speeding tickets or got pulled from cops in my life. They need to be liable to good citizens like me

Thanks guys!

when I stored my 8 for winter I set up insurace and placed the 8 as an occasional driver and basically took insurace off(but not really off since it's financed) for 3 months and had my winter beater as primary driver and i didnt' run into any probs...this was PA by the way!
