Yeah, NY requires you to surrender your plates if you have no insurance. Also, insurance (depending on what part of the state you're in) costs an arm, a leg, and your first born. My Fasty as a third car on the insurance as a passenger vehicle driven 1000 miles/year is 600 per 6 months, just liability. It's a good reason to narc on people when you see insurance fraud in these parts.
