The California DMV requires you to renew your vehicle registration every year by paying with a bank account number (no card) which is like a 30ish digit number and they disable paste. If you get it wrong they won’t notify you in any way until you get pulled over by a cop who is one bad sneeze away from murdering you. It’s a great system.

Bank account numbers are, like, 8-10 digits. Certainly not 30ish.

What? Mine are 6 digits. Plus the routing number

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Still, not 30ish digits like that person said. Hyperbole be damned.

I have renewed my CA registration with a credit card going back to at least 2016. A responsible driver would know their renewal failed when their registration document did not arrive via mail.

Nah dude fuck that. The burned of compliance with laws shouldn't fall so hard on people.
