Obviously you don’t have vehicles registered in Ohio:
1) Insurance is mandatory in this state, however there is no state reporting from insurance companies (with the exception of SR-22s). You are not even required to provide an ID Card when you register a vehicle, just sign an affidavit saying “Well, sure, I pinkie-swear that I have insurance and that I’ll maintain it always”.
2) The state makes it’s money in Ohio on the registration… most of us don’t make our money from the state so we don’t care if they’re getting a few thousand more vehicle registrations from illegals. The point is the state is making money by looking the other way.
3) Ohio does not have an annual tax (like property tax) on vehicles. Registering a vehicle in Ohio has no bearing on your individual tax burden, only means paying a registration fee and you’re on your way. When you buy the vehicle you pay a sales tax, after that you’re driving tax-free (execept gasoline taxes, of course).
But if there is a vehicle that is driving around without a reg, a policy officer will have more of a reason to pull that vehicle over, and will be less likely to be charged with profiling. But I do agree with selling insurance to people without a DL. Just because they don’t have a DL, doesn’t mean they won’t get into an accident, and at least they have insurance.
