Isn't there a car excise licence situation in the USA?

Here, you have to pay your car tax annually. You have to produce a valid MoT (a basic car safety and emissions test) certificate and a valid insurance certificate showing the driver is insured to drive the car,to get the car tax disc. The car tax disc MUST be displayed in the front window at all times.

No licence, no insurance. No insurance, no tax disc. No tax disc, either the cameras get you or the police patrols or parking wardens do.

The registered keeper of the car gets a fine for himself unless he gives up who was actually driving. Sell the car without registering the new keeper - you get the fines!

People without driving licences and therefore without driving tests is a mad mad mad idea!

We ahve been suffering from unlcensed uninsured drivers a bit, adn illegal immigrationis makingit worse, but at least there is a mechanism to control the situation.
