WOW, my Starlet is 18 years old and like I said it costs ~550USD for rego
every year to drive it on the road. This goes for cars of any age and size, so my 18 year old 1800lb Starlet costs the same for rego as a 2016 Hummer! However, this high fee does cover hospital/rehabilitation costs (TAC charge) in the event of a crash for anyone involved in a vehicle accident no matter if you have insurance or not. So there is communal benefit for the unfortunate people who of no fault of their own suffer severe injury requiring expensive rehabilitation of which they don't have to pay anything.
I Just wish we could at least get somewhat cheaper rego for smaller vehicles or vehicles producing less emissions.
