    He’s doing it wrong. I knew a Silicon valley weirdo who wasn’t sovereign citizen but never had a license. When he got pulled over, the police could only make him get out of the car and not drive. It wasn’t an arrestable offense because he never had a license as compared to driving with a suspended license. Being rich meant the fines were an annoyance, not a real problem.

      Going through so much trouble to not have a license… Wow.

      I had to look it up to see if you can buy a car without a driver’s license… It looks like depending on your jurisdiction, you can buy a car but you must have auto insurance. And you can purchase car insurance without a driver’s license. TIL.

          Massachusetts requires insurance to register a car: there’s like half a dozen itemized minimum coverages

          It was a real hassle a couple decades ago when they combined license, registration, and insurance requirements, while also no longer sending reminders. A lapse in one meant the rest were dropped and made it that much harder to fix. For example drivers license expires every four years, but without a reminder, you may forget. But an expired license may discontinue your insurance, so now you’re driving without coverage for a month until that gets sent out. Now your registration may also be canceled because of lack of insurance, so you have to renew all three and in the right order
