Ohio now charges a $20 late fee if you don’t renew your driver’s license or registration within seven days of its expiration. Is that a fair way to raise revenue?
Ohio now charges a $20 late fee if you don’t renew your driver’s license or registration within seven days of its expiration. Is that a fair way to raise revenue?
WILLIE CLEVELAND, Trotwood: “It’s a way to raise revenue, but I don’t necessarily think it’s fair. There’s a lot of people struggling to pay the regular amount, especially people with multiple cars. I think a lot of people are late because of the way the economy is, and they just don’t have the money.”
JACKIE WINZELER, Springboro: “Yes. You need to live up to your responsibilities, and one of your responsibilities is to be on time with your renewals.”
ED BLAKE, Bellbrook: “I don’t think that’s unfair. Maybe not to raise revenue, but to get people not to drive with an expired license.”
KAREN GAINES, Dayton: “Yes, it is. It protects the people, as well. They know to get it out of the way. It gives them a sense of urgency and stops procrastination.”
MELANIE LEFFERS, Fairborn: “I never heard of that before. It’s a good way to raise money, but it’s not good for consumers.”
MARIE MARTIN, Kettering: “I think they’re putting so many fees on everything now as a way to get more money, and things are hard enough right now. We don’t need one more thing added on.”
