How is it an overstep, in a federal sense?

Wait it’s 30 days cumulative if I’m reading that right? That’s pretty ridiculous lol. So if I spend a weekend every month they’d still suspend my license? Lol

It would be nice if instead of focusing the state's efforts on policing families like yours and separating families, we would have provided y'all with assistance in finding a home and ensuring y'all had enough food (if that was an issue for you). Seems like a much better use of state funds to me.

Really quite similar to a heroin dealer giving a free sample or two.

My friend's neighbor ratted me out for having an expired guest parking pass. My friend had renewed the pass but not gotten it in the mail yet. I appealed the ticket, but it took them like five months to drop it.

I’m going to have to disagree. There are times when it’s early morning, foggy and dark where high beams are the only way you are going to see a foot in front of you!

I'd trust the lawyer's advice over my personal reading, but the "except" clause seemed so clear and it's so easy to accidentally admit to something seemingly innocent that I assumed that's what happened.
I'm really curious what the cost of actually registering would be. It'd be a major hassle for you (as I believe all of this needs to be done in person in MA), but the RMV appears to have a supervisor, the press office, and the ombudsman's office working to deal with an issue that amounts to a $60 plate fee. If that's all we're looking at, it makes sense to cut bait and issue a stern warning at this point. Maybe even a wag of the finger and a "now don't you do this again!"

Just to clear up any doubt, what kind of street were you parking on and how long was the car left for?
I believe you, but I have family saying that you left the car on a busy street for a month straight.

One thing I've noticed is that LED headlights, while brighter, have a sharper cutoff than halogen or HID. What this does is make some signs, especially those mounted higher, less visible from farther away.
While these signs reflect light very well, the light must reach it and LEDs simply don't spread enough unless the high beams are on.
Same is true to a lesser extent of trees and other objects that don't appear as visible despite the brighter LEDs. Halogen bulbs aren't as bright across the board but create a bigger "bubble" of visibility.

Yeah this should go to court and be thrown out by a federal judge under the interstate commerce clause

The dual registration is designed for cases like where someone lives in NH and parks a van in MA for work, it's not for people visiting and the DMV doesn't seem to get that there's no way or reason for people to actually do that

I’m sure a federal court would agree it feels like an overstep by MA government

I mean, I grew up on the NH border and every halfway rich fuck with a second property in NH registered their car to cheat the system at their lakehouse/cabin. Fuck those guys for sidestepping it, but also the RMV for hitting these travelers.

Same. The auto function is particularly dangerous on winding roads with hills where they don’t detect an oncoming car until they’re right in front of you.

Yeah it really sounds like idiots in the RMV not understanding their own laws with a law targeting NH which doesn’t require insurance
