I just got a call from a buddy. His baby sister, who moved here from texass last spring, had her car impounded in some dump town in SE OK. It seems she was pulled over for speeding inside the city limits, and her OK DL and the TX tags didn't jive.
The town Barney impounded her car.
Now, I understand she should have gotten the OK tag when she changed her domicile, but she was reluctant to do so since her TX tag didn't expire until the end of October. She planned to do so then.
I realize the town had the right to do it, but frankly, bilking her for impound charges in addition to the ticket for improper registration, no proof of OK insurance and the tow just seems a might extreme to me.
Oh yeah, the car won't be released until she shows evidence of proper OK registration and of course, an OK insurance card. I'm thinking the tag may be tough since I believe they still require you to make the car available for inspection of the VIN at the tag agent when bringing it in from out of state.
If that's so, I imagine they have some kind of deal with the local tag agent wherein Barney brings the VIN over there. That is just speculation on my part, but it would add to the scamola. She would have been much smarter keeping the TX DL until she got the OK tag, but that's hindsight.
Whaddyall think?
Traffic fines are teh succ!
