New California registration prices

Theres a DMV thats a good drive from me that I'm considering going to when I decide to do the whole "real ID" thing. It's pretty quick cause its a rural area and to me its worth the gas and drive time to be in and out vs going to the 2 DMV's within 10 minutes of me and spending an ungodly amount of time there... even with an appointment...

 

Ah. That’s why my local DMV is a cluster now...

I never got why people complained about the DMV cause my local small town one was so quick.

Not anymore

(Not saying it’s you but I get why people go out of town to deal with this stuff... just stay away from my town!)

 

Here is why you pay so much....

A California Department of Motor Vehicles employee slept three hours a day on the job for nearly four years-- all while her supervisors knew, according to a state auditor’s reportreleased Tuesday.

And the employee still works there.

Between February 2014 and December 2017, the employee snoozed through an estimated 2,200 hours’ worth of work, costing California taxpayers more than $40,000, the audit said.

The worker, who was not named in the report, is a data operator responsible for updating information on address changes and new vehicle ownership forms.

According to the report, a typical data operator averages 560 documents a day, but the worker managed only 200, leaving other data operators to pick up the slack, the audit found. Her colleagues said her work was filled with errors, the report said.

The worker’s supervisors had been aware of her misuse of time but “failed to take disciplinary or medical action against the employee after initial efforts to address her conduct proved unsuccessful,” the audit said.

In November 2016, the worker’s request for reasonable accommodation was denied. Two months later, the worker’s physician indicated she could “perform all of her duties.”

DMV officials told state auditors that they did not pursue disciplinary action against the worker because her behavior had not been properly documented.

Previous disciplinary attempts were found by legal and human resources staff to have not had “appropriate language necessary for such disciplinary action,” the audit said.

[D]espite the employee failing to correct her behavior, the employee's supervisors did not initiate adverse action within the State's progressive discipline process to ensure that her behavior did not continue.

The audit said proper documentation was completed in March 2018 and the employee was reportedly warned that she could be disciplined for sleeping on the job.

State auditors recommended DMV take action against the supervisors who failed to discipline the worker. The agency told state auditors that it is training the supervisors “on the importance of following the State’s progressive discipline process.”

MORE THAN A MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SCORED CALIFORNIA DRIVER'S LICENSES, STATE DMV ANNOUNCES

The DMV is now consulting with human resources to determine the next steps to take with the employee, the report said.

The case was one of 1,481 instances of alleged improper governmental activities investigated by the California State Auditor’s Office over the past year.

 

Wow! $40,000! Thats the annual registration fees on 40 new diesel trucks!

 

How often do you have to renew your reg in California?

 

annually

 

Fuck me and it’s 5-600?!

 

Easily

 

Jjust got my registration renewal. Mines going to be 389 for a 2015

 

I just got the renewal paperwork for my “17 Tacoma, $486!!

 

$200 month for just the Tacoma?

 

Vote yes on Prop 6 in November. It repeals the gas and car taxes that were foisted on us a couple years ago and it makes it illegal for the legislature to do it again without a vote from the people. Your wallet will thank you.

 

I paid like 400 for my 18 OR in Iowa. Anything over 10 years old is $55 annually

 

$405 for my '13

 

Bought my 18 DC taco last month brand new and it was $580 or so. My 17 RAM Rebel DC was $704 this year. I hate Cali more each year.

 

Mines coming up in a couple months, dreading it.

 

500 even for mine. Even though I've lived in SoCal for the first 10 years and the past 11 years of my life, I still am a legal resident of Idaho and so I just transferred my title to Potato Land. 120 bucks for 2 years. No smog.

 

636 for my 17 Pro

 

I live in CA, and between the 5 cars/trucks, travel trailer and motorcycle it cost a small fortune to register, smog, and insure. It is the way it is here and it's going up again next January. The idiot's here keep reelecting the same fools back into office that make these laws. I have 5 more years to deal with this crap. It cost alot of money to live and have any type of motorized vehicle or equipment here. Good luck to all.
