Did you ever sit in line
at your local bank drive-up and wonder why the driver of the
Florida registered Hummer in front of you would want to have
an account there? That 4-wheel drive must really come
in handy during those Florida winters! Did you ever
wonder why you see those same people in the Vermont
registered Mercedes 500SL every weekend at your local pizza
parlor?
Many Connecticut residents register
their vehicles in other states to avoid paying sales
taxes and local property taxes. These vehicles are easy
to spot because they’re parked in your neighbor’s
driveway displaying the state marker plates of their
vacation home! If you ask them, they’ll provide
answers more entertaining than those of ENRON
ex-officials testifying before Congress. There is ONE
place where you will NEVER see them. You’ll never
see them waiting in line for a Connecticut emissions
test!
An even bigger problem…..many
more Connecticut residents register their vehicles in
Connecticut but use an address/tax town other than their
residence where the vehicle is located. These are
what we refer to as “stealth” cheats because they are
not readily visible. This is most prevalent in the
Cities where mil rates are high and where insurance
premiums are double that of the suburbs.
