- I thought New Jersey had the highest auto insurance rates in the
- entire country. Also, how would PA and NY drivers registering in NJ
- cost NJ drivers money? If anything, I would think NJ would benefit
- from increased registration fee income. Also what do the out of state
- people do for an NJ address? If they have a PA or NY address on their
- NJ registration papers and/or NJ driver's license (or drive with NJ
- tags and another state's driver's license) their homestate cops would
- cite them for extra infractions if they were stopped for speeding, etc.
- Of course, for NJ to allow registration using an out of state address
- makes no sense either.
