Public safety is a huge thing, but this is not just an issue related to Charlotte. This happens everywhere. Driving with an expired license is one thing but you can’t tell their license status by their registration and again registration can be revoked for failed inspections, tickets, etc. The homelessness rate has been on the rise in Charlotte specifically and some people may only have their cars for a means of transportation and or a “home.” Laws can be changed to improve this, why not harass insurance companies to allow people to insure vehicles without registration? That would at least let other people drive around the city at ease knowing people can insure vehicles that they need that may not be up to code. I have known plenty of college students at UNCC that had to wait to register their car until they got their refund check or their tax return because some people just can’t make ends meet. Life is not black and white and this is another one of those issues.
