Letter: Registration update seems option, not a requirement

1 min read

I realize I've reported this here before but I feel I need to say it again. As I walk and drive around Maui, I see many, many vehicles with expired license plates, many of them long expired.

I am beginning to feel that keeping vehicle registration current is only a suggestion and not really a requirement. We all know what a vehicle with expired registration likely includes, lack of insurance and perhaps unsafe condition.

Just this morning on a walk on Ala Nui Ke Ali in Kihei, there were four white vans parked near each other, all with long-expired tags. These vans have been there for months.

Is there no way to do anything about this? As a person that keeps my registration up to date, I'm feeling like a sucker for paying the fee when more and more it seaems to be an option, not a requirement.
