I just paid $90 for a Sticker... again

Postby Masato » Fri Nov 22, 2013 12:06 pm

...I didn't even want the sticker. I don't even like it, it's really ugly with zero artistic design whatsoever, and is essentially completely useless.

But a big scary dude with a gun told me threateningly that I HAD to buy it. If I didn't, he said he (or some other guys with guns from his gang) would come after me again and shake me down for even more money.

If I still refused to buy their sticker, or give them the money, they would make it so that I could never drive again (which kind of threatens my whole family as I need to drive to provide for them)...

- and if I DID try to drive after that, they would lock me in a cage like an animal!

And to top it off... they told me they are coming back around next year to do the same thing! And every year after that until I am dead.

-And on my birthday even!!

True story.

OK that time of year again, happy birthday to me

Went to get robbed again for a sticker, but did not see the fine print that I need an EMISSIONS TEST before I can get the sticker.

My auto guy cannot do it for a few days. A few days go by and my forgetful ass misses the appointment. Still no sticker nor emissions test.

Work floods in, super busy for like a week. really meaning to get this all done, but...

Last night COP PULLS ME OVER. Says I don't have a sticker. Writing up a ticket.

Then he comes back from his computer and tells me there is NO RECORD OF INSURANCE ON THE VEHICLE. My papers in the car are out of date

He tells me that the fine for driving without insurance papers in the vehicle is SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS.

He tells me that the fine for Driving without insurance is over $5 THOUSAND dollars, plus points on my license, plus potantial criminal charges.

I use some jedi mind tricks on him and somehow get away with only a $100 fine for not having the sticker.

I call my insurance today, and they discovered they made an 'error' when my wife bought her vehicle 3 years ago by TRANSFERRING my car's insurance to the new vehicle instead of adding a NEW policy for my wife's car.

So basically, I've been driving around without insurance for like 3 years and didn't even know it.

And all I got was a $100 fine.

Plus the $90 for the sticker. Fuckin criminals lol

- What is the sticker for?
- I rent this space for advertising

Extortion stickers for your license plates, I just had to get 2, one for my work truck and another for my car, commercial vehicles cost more, so I was out 240

Didn't it used to be $90 for 2 years? Granted that was around 10 years ago. 100% increase is highway robbery.

I really like the fact that cars are a hugely expensive inconvenience here in Hong Kong. You can get one if you want, but it makes getting around a real pain in the ass.

That is really, really nice.
