Stampie said:I've never had a problem dropping a vehicle's insurance and not turning in the plate here in FL. Makes me wonder now. At one point I had 6 insured and plated vehicles. FL hits you hard for each plate so I'm good as long as I don't go over 6 total but as I sold vehicles I'd just drop insurance and not turn in plates. Wonder if I've gotten lucky and the new buyers have titled/registered in FL so that the state knew.
While back when I got Susie good enough to drive we put her on insurance and I renewed her plate. A little while later I needed to stop driving her due to various issues so I suggested we drop the insurance.
Wife had been handling insurance and she got convinced by State Farm that we had to turn in my plate to do that, and she tells me so.
"No we don't, hon. I've done this before. Its fine, also its a historic plate so I'm not mailing it off so they can destroy it." (Plate from 1967, cause Florida lets you do that.)
She sticks to the insurance peoples side and just drops the insurance to the very bare minimum, something like $20/month. Found out two or three years later that she had been sticking to that despite me telling her not to. Still not sure where most of my irritation about that should be directed.
