How are there that many uninsured drivers?
NY must run totally different. You are not issued tags without proof of insurance. If your insurance lapses, you ins company notifies DMV which puts your tag on the NYSPIN system. Any police car with a scanner,( which is all of them except for maybe a few small town forces) can and will pull you over. Last I knew it was eighty dollar a day penalty for each day you are lapsed, not including court costs and the fine. Car is impounded on the spot.
