Mozz asked:


The accident was the other person’s fault, I didn’t get the rental, used another car.
And if so, who do I call? The adjustors office, they’re saying no – and maybe it’s no, but their job is to get out of paying stuff so I don’t know if they’re blowing smoke.

Jane asked:

I received a speeding ticket (my first moving violation of any kind) citing 75mph in 55 zone in New Hampshire. I live and am licensed in Massachusetts. I am thinking of pleading no contest. My question is, if I get a job offer in a different state and move there, how many points if any will be on my driving record in new state?

For example, in Massachusetts you get no points for first offense (my situation).

However would if I later move to another state where 20mph over limit would be considered reckless driving? Would that mean I start off with 3 -4 points on my license in that new state because the driving record followed me from Massachusetts?

Does the driving record specify how many mph over the limit for the offense? What exact details would be on the driving record?

Thanks

I only intend to live in Texas temporarily, maybe less than a year.

Registering it in Massachusetts instead of Texas would save me at least $1000 in sales taxes up front.
I don’t currently own a car, but I may be moving to Texas soon. But, I don’t feel like buying a new car here in Massachusetts and then driving 1800 miles across the country.

I’d rather just buy the car there.

The reason I’m afraid of Texas taxes (…oy vey, what a tongue twister) is because Texas has no state income tax, so their sales and excise taxes are probably much higher than what we pay here in Mass.

Yen asked:

In Massachusetts, we currently have two colors for the lettering on license plates: red and green.

is it just luck of the draw on what color you get or do they actually mean something?

En V asked:

I recently moved to Massachusetts and am confused as to whether or not I have to get new plates. Does this mean that I also have to register the car again? I recently re-registered the car in my home state, is it possible to wait until that registration expires or must it be done right away?

Also, do I need to get an MA license as well?

Thanks in advance!

I don’t feel like paying $2,000 for insurance on a car that’s worth barely that, but I don’t know where to find a better deal. Any good resources for comparing rates? I’m in Massachusetts.

Hallie E asked:

I am 26 and getting my first license (I know, lame, but whatever, it happens). I currently have a permit in the state of Minnesota (even more lame) that would allow me to test for my license in early August. If I move to Massachusetts, how long would I have to wait to get a license? Would I be able to put my permit time in Minnesota towards a Mass. license? What is the standard wait for people my age there to begin with? Thanks!
