[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure there are some residency cheaters, but I would bet that most of the MD plates are from car registration scofflaws who actually live in DC.  A lot of DC residents who have off-street parking (DC has cracked down on non-DC plates frequently parked on the street in DC)  use a relative's address in MD to register their cars to keep their insurance low.  Many of my neighbors do this--it's not good, but they are actually DC residents.[/quote]

Where do you live? Car reg in dc is very cheap. I can't imagine foregoing street parking just to save a few bucks.

Riggs Park in NE DC.  It's not the car registration fee itself, it's the insurance savings.  I would say a significant minority of my neighbors (20%??) have MD plates--many of them have decent-sized parking pads behind their houses, so not parking on the street isn't a hardship.  Drive through some alleys with driveways behind houses in some of the not-so-affluent parts of the city with townhouses and single-family homes if you think I'm crazy.  I think extended families helping each other out with school pick up and drop off (there are MD plates at my DC daycare when auntie from Hyattsville picks up little Larla who lives in NE DC) is also fairly common.  I'm sure there are still a good number of residency cheaters, but I think MD plates alone do not constitute solid evidence of residency cheating.[/quote]
