Back in October of last year, the DMV registration for one car was $66 if paid on time. If late, the fee went up $20 dollars to $86.<\/p>\n<p>My other car was due at the end of April. The fee, $56. The late fee? It&#8217;s not $20 dollars anymore. It&#8217;s gone up $61. Now the fee stands at $129. That&#8217;s triple. The late fee is based on the value of the car. Can you imagine if the car had a $300 plus fee and I was late?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and the great guys in the legislature have decided to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/cgi-bin\/article.cgi?f=\/c\/a\/2009\/05\/21\/BA3J17OBA0.DTL\">completely cut<\/a> the states public service known as Poison Control, as in gone completely.
