My anti braketag origin story....way back in 2003-04ish I went in to get a new Brake Tag at a spot in New Orleans....I was given a reject slip becuase 1 of the 2 lights that illuminate the REFLECTIVE license plate was burned out. Dude offered to replace the burnt out light on the spot for $40 while attempting to charge me an additional 20 for the brake tag. Left on the spot and never attempted on my own to get a tag ever again. Since then, if the dealer didn't put one on for me during the purchase...I never handled it on my own.
I loved when they were doing road work between NO East and Slidell which resulted in rocks getting thrown all over teh interstate cracking everyone's windsheild...then you go in for a Brake tag and they tell you that your windsheild is cracked and you can't get a BT.
Like WTH?
Knowking Louisiana, DOTD and Safelite have a handshake deal in place where they LA/DOTD/Contractors scour the roads before doing the roadwork but never bring in a sweeper to clear the debris...any damages caused brings in more business for the repair companies.
Also fun fact that'll piss you off about the state trooper inpsection sticker checkpoints. Brake tag revenue goes to the State Troopers
