The Registry of Motor Vehicles of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has problems keeping up in our electronic world. They have not yet been able to share information with the courts in a timely manner nor have they been able to properly tax true luxury cars, such as Ferrari.
Although courts have 'taken away' the license of repeat drunk drivers, chronic speeders and those convicted of murder by vehicle, the Registry has been unable to collect this information for at least two years after the court ruling. How many accidents and deaths these people have caused is unknown.
Further, the Registry has not been able to assess a proper excise tax on Ferraris and similar cars because they are not listed in the Blue Book. How much towns, which actually collect the tax, have lost because of this error is unknown.
The new Registrar vows to bring the agency into the 21st century.
