    $1000 Driver License Retainer Fee

    I am going to send my MPP and MP a suggestion of having drivers provide a $1000 retainer fee. This will ensure the Province has a constant stream of cash flow. It will also ensure that payments are made in advance. After 5 years of a clean driving record then you will get back $500.

    Do you think we can get them to go along with this idea?

    LMAO....and an oz of whatever you're smoking costs how much?


    Drivers celebrate b-days 365 days a year. Once a yr, each driver must gag up money for plate stickers = constant cash flow stream, 365 minus weekends and holidays (but that's made up for)
    Every few yrs, (probably five, I quit counting) they choke us a bit more with Driver's Licence fees. More streaming cash flowing out of our wallets.
    Fines being handed out left, right and centre = cash steady flow.
    Fines for fines, constantly increasing fines, and more fines on the books rapidly = healthy cash flow.
    A new car buyer pays tax. That should be plenty.
    But NOOOOOOOOO......If that car get sold 10 times, the buggers tax that car 10X.

    Maybe just write them and ask if you can set up your pay cheque for direct deposit right into their wallet?
    Personally, with sales tax, income tax, etc, they have more of my $$ than I do.
    Enough is ENOUGH.

    Why stop there? Why not have them implant GPS trackers up our rectums and fine us every time we go over the limit? Even if we're not operating the vehicle! Imagine how much money they'll get from airplane passengers!!! Then they can install cameras in our houses and automatically fine us for any infractions we're committing behind closed doors! Wow, I love you, wanna be my 2nd wife?

    Well if we can get some of these safety MP's and MPP's to put forward these stupid bills then maybe we can shame the rest of them when the Public laughs at them. Right now they do things that sounds good but people do not realize how bad it is until it's too late.

    Forgot about those people who are 16 and don;t have $1000, or the new immigrants who have to work night and day just to be able to afford $300/month for insurance.

    The public won't be laughing when they have to pay $1000 to keep their licences.. lol

    To be clear---I'm pointing out that the politicians could actually implement it regardless of how ridiculous it may seem.

    We should just have one big account for the whole province, to which everybody's salary is deposited. Then everyone would just take from it whatever they need and everybody will live happily ever after. Isn't that a novel idea? Hey..! I just found a solution to all social problems!

    A very nice solution as long as you don't take human nature into account Translation - The same people that currently "deserve" more than what 1000 average Canadians are making are gonna end up "needing" the same amount of money. In any human society, the crap always ends up floating on top.

    Great idea. Give them more money to piss away! Bad enough we're raped 7 ways from Sunday you want to just hand more over to them.

    It ought to go the other way. We should get free licences if we are good responsible drivers with no tickets.

    I'm sick and tired and taxed near to death. Enough already.

    I can't even laugh at this.

    Sounds like a great idea. Within 6 months they'll have spent all of that money for things that it was never intended for, by shifting it to "general coffers." Then they'll get voted out of office in favour of whoever the current opposition is who will turn around and do the same things the previous government did, while still leaving us out $1000.00 each.

    Of course we'll then forget about what party #1 did and vote them back in again.

    Heh ... let's go one better. The $1000 is like a balance. Any traffic fines get deducted from the balance and if it goes to 0, your licence is suspended until you send the government another $1000. Of course, the government will jack up all fines so that the minimum fine is say $500, so after 2 minor tickets, your licence is suspended until you pony up some more cash. And well any more serious tickets ... hell the balance is blown after one ticket and it's time to pony up.

    Why let McGuinty and the likes of MADD corner the market on this kind of s***. I think I better check the Kool-Aid I've been drinking.
