She got pulled into a "safety check" last night. Cop was gone for aboot 20min, came back and said there was a problem with her license, he was keeping it and giving her a $500-ish fine, she had to leave her car there and walk home, and that she should feel lucky that he didn't arrest her for it on the spot, and that was only because her driving record was spotless. She tried to explain to me last night what exactly the problem was, but she so shook up that if wasn't very coherant. The parts I did get seemed a bit shady, though.

So today, I tell her to call the DA and find out what the story is. Turns out when she first left her ex-husband, he asked for ownership of their car, which she agreed to because she didn't want. Signed off on the reg and everything. Well, he never did anything with that, and ended up getting pulled over without insurance. And because he never switched the reg, it was her license that got suspended for it that week. Not only that, but when the notification or whatever that her license had been suspended showed up at their old residence, he signed and notorized it without her knowledge, and sent it in. So he's known for a while that she was suspended.

Now she has to pay $500 to get her license back (which is for the original incident), and go to court next month so the DA can drop the the current driving under suspension charges. At least the DA was pretty cool about it, at least as cool as they could be. There'll also be some nice gentlemen in pretty blue suits waiting for her ex when he gets home tonite for fraud charges or something like that.

 
that is pretty messed up.

a girl I worked with was arrested a few years back in NY for a toll violation that she was never notified of, and they had suspended her liscence (in NY she lived in ME) and was stopped for 5 over and cuffed.

 
Agreed. The really crappy part was that she was headed to pickup my cuz, whose her best friend, to take her to the hospital because her grandmother was dying. I know the cop has a job to do and all, but that's a pretty dick move.

At least she didn't have to hike all the way home at midnight last night. A buddy of mine on the force that wasn't at the roadblock found her and brought her home, apologizing profusely for the other cop being so hard on her.

 
If the prior registration was in her name, couldn't the ex-hub be charged with forgery if he signed her name? Of course that is IF she wants to make his life miserable.

 
Sucks to hear sounds like her ex will get his comeuppance though. >

The state does an awful job of handling this stuff. I got notification that they were going to suspend my license for canceling insurance on a motorcycle a week before the registration ran out.... The notification of course arrived almost 2 months after the registration was up, so I effectively had to fax them the registration with a letter that effectively said DUH.

All the laws and such put in place to ensure that people don't drive without insurance or a license sound good in theory, but it seems we lack the ability to properly handle enforcing them. It makes me cringe to think about how much money is wasted on BS like this vs how many people it stops and how many people get harassed needlessly.

 
yes, she got hammered for serious lameness.

if you can actually document that her ex signed and notarized her suspension notice and then failed to give HER notice, things could get quite hot for him. she'll probly need a lawyer to make it all stick, to ($$))

sometimes the karmic boomerang can offer a tasty bit o' belated satisfaction.

 
Oh, believe me guys, she's already been on the phone with her lawyer. And he's as giddy as a school girl to drag her ex back to court again, he's already working on the paperwork.

 
Kind of similar story. When I split with my ex I gave the car to her. I signed the title over and everything. She never registered and insured it again after it expired. She stole the plates off something else and drove it. She broke down ont he Maine NH boarder and just left the car. I got a call when I was working at Maine Mall, about my car broken down on the side of the road and on the boarder, oh ya and the little matter of the plates!!! Luckily I took copies of the title, and the divorce decree, in which I gave her the car. It was a close one!!!!!

Luckily I had dotted my i's and crossed my t's!!!!

I hate scumbags like that!!! Don't fear the drama still continues today, I PROMISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Why didn't she change the address on her lic. She has 30 days after change of address. Not all items mailed to your home have to signed for by the addressed party it depends on which was sent. Don't get me wrong the ex was a dick but it could have been avoided too. Trust no one, my ex and I split on good terms but I still made sure all my stuff was changed over right away.

 
Yeah, I know, I agree, it definitely could have been avoided. But I know in my case, I was so distraught, I couldn't think rationaly about anything. I think she was in the same boat, just too much going on to think about what she should be thinking about.
