That way you can (for the most part) pull the car off the streets preventing it from being towed as you straighten out the insurance.

If Michigan doesn’t do something similar and only takes the car, to me that shows they are interested only in the money and not the premise behind requiring insurance for drivers.

If drivers receive and ignored a notice to send in plates or that their insurance has lapsed, I am much less sympathetic to their plight

The bottom line is that required insurance is a boon for the state, a boon for the insurance companies and a boon for crooks.

The people that are hurt by it are the honest folks in the world..
