Not so bad now that the laws are being repealed but a front plate still ruins my car; taxes are cheaper....

 

if its anything like va's dmv, then tell him to check the little box saying he has insurance and call it a day.

 

Thanks for the suggestion!

I went to the DMV here, just to try out luck on Saturday to see if he could get his licenses here. I didnt think it would work. He will be getting his license here LEGALLY since he is here studying in university. The issue was that he is in University in North Carolina, and he has to use his school documents to prove that he is here legally, and rightfully, DMV should say to just get licenses in NC since that is where he lives.

The work around, as told by the teller at DMV is to get his name on a bank account that comes to my address, as stated above. When I went to the post office, the guy there told me that I can write up a lease that he is renting from me and that is legally binding that he is living with me as well. I saw someone mention that they did that for NC.

I am trying to get it, because he got a ticket the other day while he was dropping me off at my office so that he could use my car because he did not have his international licenses on him. He does have his Jamaican licenses, but the international license from Jamaica is like a mini book. He had forgotten it in NC. I want him to get a license before we go to court just to avoid any unknown issues that they might try to pull, knowing how VA laws sucks.

It does suck to have to pay insurance just for the occasional situation where he has to drive though. I am going to see if I can get his name on my utility bill and see if that would help any.

Thanks for the suggestions though. Yes, VA license does suck, and I didnt want him to get one here because of the ticket laws here, but NC laws with not owning a car sucks worse, so we are going to try to get him the license here.

For the record, he has been driving in Jamaica for a about 2 years prior to coming up here, and anyone who have ever been to Jamaica knows that everyday driving is like driving on an obstacle race track. Its a fun adventure everyday. You HAVE to have good driving skills to drive there.

 

glad it worked out.

 

Good deal.

 

Well, it hasnt worked as yet, but I have found the solution now for what I thought there was none. Thanks!

 

NNO policy FTW!

Named-Non owner policy that follows the driver as opposed to following the vehicle.

Also some benefits to having NC insurance is that it is a take-all-comers state. You can have 15 DUI's and a liscense suspended and any company has to insure you.

All liabilities are paid out through the state.
Typically insurance is very cheap in North Carolina.

And they don't typically reciprocate any violations out of state. So you can have a shitty record in Virginia, get a DL in North Carolina and it won't transfer your record.

 

Oh, thats pretty cool. When I called DMV in NC, the guy was telling me that insurance there is pretty cheap. If I ever get into any more serious trouble or something, this would be good info to know. For now, I am decently good. Hopefully nothing bizzar happens to me to force me to do something drastic like this.
