Would you trade your wedding ring for an exact replica?
It's a question I sometimes ask audiences. Not surprisingly, hardly anyone admits to indifference in the matter.
More commonly, the emotional attachment measures in the thousands of dollars, which is what most people say they'd need to be paid before swapping the ring they were married in for a perfect replica.
Dismiss this as mere sentimentality at your own peril.
The man (or woman) who admits to NOT valuing his original wedding ring over a replica gets shunned. The same thing happens to the man who would willingly wear the clothing of a serial killer. Most of us would refuse to don Jeffrey Dahmers cap, even if it had been previously washed and sanitized. No matter how unscientific, arational, and even "silly" our repulsion is – regardless of how much it represents "Magical Thinking" – you'll still find that:
- The vast majority of people won't willingly wear a piece of clothing worn by an evil man, and
- Those who WOULD wear Dahmer's clothing deeply offend our sensibilities and provoke our immediate distrust. They creep us out.
What does all that tell you?
Shared values run deeper than rationality. Way deeper. As Richard Weaver writes, "…logic depends upon the dream, and not the dream upon it. We must admit this when we realize that logical processes rest ultimately upon classification, that classification is by identification, and identification is intuitive."
We identify objects as tainted or sacred at an intuitive, emotional level. At a place were our reasoning is powerless to touch. A place where the principles of magical thinking reign supreme over the laws of science. At the very place where we make our buying decisions.
And for marketers, that means 2 things:
- You can't expect a rational explanation to communicate a shared value that's held at that intuitive, emotional level.
- You'd better understand the rule sets behind the "magical thinking" that our emotional and lizard brains engage in if you hope to move beyond mere rational explanations in your advertising
Case In Point: Columbia Sportswear's Tough Mother
First, some background on Columbia Sportswear's former CEO and now Chairman of the Board, as taken from the inside flap of her book:
"When a heart attack claimed Gert Boyle's husband in 1970, the forty-six-year-old housewife and mother of three found herself at the helm of Columbia Sportswear, a small outerwear manufacturer in Portland, Oregon, that was struggling financially. With no business experience whatsoever, Boyle was faced with the challenge of running Columbia, which had been founded in 1937 by her father — a Jewish immigrant who had fled Hitler's Germany. Boyle and her son Tim persevered, turning a company that in 1970 had forty employees and less than $800,000 in annual sales into the leading seller of skiwear in the United States, with more than 2000 employees and over a billion in annual sales…"
One of the turning points on this incredible success story was (surprise!) a change in advertising messaging.
Prior to the Borders Perrin & Norrander marketing campaign that billed Columbia's CEO, Gert Boyle, as "one tough mother," Columbia's ads emphasized how their sportswear wasn't just designed, it was "engineered."
A perfectly rational approach to building value for the product that failed in the marketplace. Customers may rationally compare spec sheets and engineering functionality, but they identify quality and an affinity for an object at a much deeper, emotional level. And they buy at these deeper, emotional – and, yes, magical – elements.
What Columbia needed was to convey their passion for no-nonsense product design in a way that "worked," and to convey that message through the laws of magical thinking. They needed messaging that took advantage of our notions that blood is thicker than water, that essences really exist, that shared values take place at more profound level than "good business practices" and engineering labs.
Fortunately for Columbia, their next, legendary ad campaign did exactly that by focusing on Gert Boyle's "Tough Mother" approach to product design, and by expressing that approach through the mother-son relationship that existed between Columbia's CEO and its President. Here's how that looked:
People saw those ads and believed. They believed that Gert really cared, fervently and violently, about the products her company manufactured. They believed her interest in building clothing that protected the wearer went way deeper than just normal, rational business desires to "engineer" a better product.
As Ma Boyle puts it:
"The impact of the ads was almost instantaneous. Sales quickly increased and I was surprised when strangers came up to me on the street and asked if I was the 'tough mother.' Better yet, the image created by the advertisements took hold. Instead of seeing us as just another outerwear company, our customers thought of us as the company where the cranky and crotchety old broad made sure that they were getting a good product at a fair price. The bottom line was that what we were really expressing was that we were human… People relate to us because they believe there is a person at Columbia who really cares. And the best thing about our ads is that they are true. I do care."
After seeing the commercials, customers liked Columbia better. Their affinity for Gert rubbed off (the phrase is telling, is it not?) onto the products. And sales soared, leading to one of the clearest success stories from a national "image-based" campaign since the Marlboro Man.
What about you?
What are you irrationally committed to? What values do you cling to even when it costs you – even when it makes no business sense at all?
Does your advertising even mention them?
And are you communicating those values rationally or magically?
P.S. If you really want to be inspired, check out some of Columbia's old TV Ads. I've always liked the one with the zamboni, myself ; )

Jeff, how timely. Thanks for such a great post. I just finished cutting a radio ad talking about how people think I'm crazy for overstaffing my store so much (over twice as many staff on hand as stores twice our size) – and feeding them ice cream at 8:30am. There is no such thing as caring too much about your customers.
Lorraine on 05.27.2010
Another brilliant post.
We all know people buy for emotional reasons. Facts, figures, features and, to a great extent, benefits, help customers rationalize the buying decision and solidify the sale.
But this post confirms something percolating with me: Focus groups, research, analytics and testing are crucial, but the intuition of creatives–writers, designers, etc.–plays a huge role in developing the emotional hook.
Columbia could have taken any number of emotion-laden paths. But a creative team chose the Tough Mother concept. And it's perfect.

Funny how messages from different quadrants of your life all seem to sync up and form one coherent message. Such was the case when I chatted with Alliance member Tom Hubler about family-owned business problems.
I was inspired to reach out to Tom after my presentation at the SGIA Expo. My entire presentation had been about the quantitative end of running a business – of how your financials should really lead your strategy.But the attendees wanted to talk about something else: Family.
Printing owner after printing owner talked to me about the difficulties of running a family business. They wanted qualitative, not quantitative.
I reached out to Tom to share my comments, and a bit of my frustration. That's when Tom introduced me to the Trust Paradox, and why understanding it is critical to maintaining a family business.
What is a paradox, and who is Tom Hubler?
Let's start out by defining the word paradox, which can be a kind of a slippery term.
As Wikipedia describes it, a paradox is a series of true statements that seem to contradict reason.
There are an infinite number of paradoxes listed on Wikipedia, and if you deep dive into them, your head will surely spin.
For a better example, I prefer the The Oatmeal's Dog Paradox. (Warning: This is absolutely side-splitting, but it does contain some vulgar language. However, it is a perfect example of a paradox.)
Note the truths in the Dog Paradox, and how they seem to contradict reason. Keep this in mind when we tackle the Trust Paradox.
Before we get to that, however, let's get a little background on Tom.
Tom Hubler is the President of Hubler for Business Families. He began his family business consulting practices in 1980, and he has over 35 years of experience of working with families. Take a look at his experience – it's quite impressive.
My father hired Tom to help our own family through a rough patch in the 80s, and he was incredibly effective.
I called Tom, and talked to him about some of the feedback I had received at the SGIA Expo. He wasn't surprised.
Why Family Businesses Outperform Fortune 500 Companies
Usually when Tom is called to a family business, there is some sort of internal issues needing some form of conflict resolution. I was surprised to hear that battling through these problems is well worth the time and investment, not only on a financial level, but on a personal level, too.
As Ernesto Poza stated in his book, Family Business, when a family is in harmony, it can actually outperform a Fortune 500 company. When I asked Tom why this happens, he said its because their commitment, their structure and the spirit de corps.
"They communicate their differences effectively," Tom said. "And it's this social capital in the end which helps them outperform their competition."
Of this social capital, trust is the most valuable currency.
Trust is the key to any relationship. Think about the people you love the most and you work with the best: At the root of all your feelings is the fact that you trust them, you can count on them, and you know they'll always be there for you.
Check out this video from Erika Napoletano on building an honest, trusted relationship. She calls them "front-stabbers."
Unfortunately, trust is not a given – even in a family. (Some might say "Especially not in a family.") Often there is so much emotional baggage that prevents families from moving ahead.
It's this emotional baggage that prevented the owners at the SGIA Expo from focusing about their financials. They felt there were too many qualitative issues at their respective companies, and they needed to iron those out first.
Tom performs plenty of activities to get families to mend on an emotional level, and I think it's a crucial part of the equation. His goal is to help create an environment where a sense of trust is created, and those topics can be discussed.
He has led many family meetings, in which fractured relationships are brought together, and forgiveness helps rebuild those trusted relationships.
But those emotional outpourings are just the beginning of establishing trust – not the end. You may cry and laugh and hug your family, but come Monday morning, has anything really changed for the better back at the workplace?
In many cases, it hasn't. Which is where the Trust Paradox comes into play.
"Rational, Structured Action Nurtures Trust"
During our conversation, I asked Tom if our emphasis on using financials to guide performance was important, especially in light of all the emotional reconciliation necessary to build trust.
To my surprise, he asserted it was one of the most critical aspects, and pointed to a fantastic article he'd written on the Trust Paradox. Here's one of the takeaways that jumped off the page at me:
"Ambiguous, emotional expectations produce hurt feelings that destroy trust. Logic might infer that to rebuild trust, the family should share compensating emotional rewards. I contend the opposite: Emotionally triggered mistrust requires an unsentimental response. Rational, formal structured action nurtures trust – within the family and the business."
That "formal structured action" is the key. Within a family business, there is a sort of informality. For example, if the father owns the business and always has an open door policy, it might be customary for people to walk right into his office.
If the business grows and his children assume leadership ranks, longtime employees might continue with this informal mode of communication and bypass the owner's kids. There is no formal mode of communication, which will eventually lead to miscommunication in a bigger company.
Informality might also extend to decision-making and distributing rewards. For example, you get promoted because you're my child, not because you did anything to help the company.
Using your financial metrics can help establish formal structured action. For example, instead of relying on family bonds to get a promotion, a member of the company must prove his or her worth through performance results.
While this might inspire some initial resistance, it's ultimately going to be the formal, structure method which rebuilds any sense of fractured trust.
To gain trust, you have to earn it. And to prove you have earned it, it must be trackable.
The feedback I received at the SGIA Expo was to be expected. Emotions were hurt, and people were desperately looking for a fix. But as the Trust Paradox indicates, the reasonable approach is to start with the benchmarks. That's the only way to rebuild trust, in a manner that's good for business and healthy for the family.

- - Public Hunting Tips? (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/rifle-hunting/10194-public-hunting-tips.html)
Public Hunting Tips?
So I moved from WI to MN and I will probably be facing public land for my first time next year so i'm looking for some tips.
My relatives owned land in WI so i've never had to deal with it before. just trying to figure out what i'll be dealing with well in advance. The biggest thing that i'm curious with is that i've read "come opening anyone can use your stand" which i'm not sure if that means they actually set out stands for use on public land, or that you can bring your own stand, but anyone can use it. thanks in advance!
I have no clue buddy. Maybe look into the local DNR/DEC rules and regs to see the specifics. Heck, call an officer and be certain of what you may encounter just to be safe and put you at ease.
The deal is: if you set a stand on public land you could have someone legally sitting in it when you get there. For public hunting the best advice is take your stand in with you and get it set up early. Also, take the stand down each night there-after to prevent theft. This would be for archery hunting as I would ground hunt public land anyways for gun season. For public hunting think where the deer will try to get to and be there. The big bucks will be heading for the thickest cover. Get back off the roads, most hunters are hunting with-in 1/4 mile of roads so go in deeper, look for funnels, pinch points, elevated ground to see a low area, swamps ect. Be patient as the deer will take longer to filter into you. Good luck and watch the wind!
Public land scares me. If I were to some how lose the rights to hunting the land I hunt now, I think I'd hang it up before going to public land. Now, this is just my opinion. The thought of someone being within 100yds of me while hunting and the possibility of them not knowing I'm there.... makes my skin crawl.
I also live and hunt in Minnesota...
The DNR will clarify any questions you have but it is basically common sense. You are not allowed to build permanent hunting stands on public land. People do it and I have found ones made of pressure treated wood with roofs above the platform areas. One person even had a nice and comfortable lazy boy 16ft up with a great view of the ridge he was on. If you find one of these empty it is fair game, but I personally wouldn't want to get in a fight over it. I think the DNR will remove these if they come accross them. I agree that most hunters don't like to go back deeper than 1/4 to 1/2 mile from the major access trails. We always go atleast 1/2 mile in for that reason. The problem is some areas have atv trails that allow hunters to get far in without actually having to walk. They miss all the fun of walking back in without light, and the joy of dragging a Deer for several miles.
Best advice for public land hunting is get in early! Get in deep and wait for others to move deer. Pack a lunch and a pee bottle and stay for the entire day. Most guys in NY come in when there is enough light to see. Also they come in and out for lunch. I sit tight all day on public land and let them drive the deer!!
like NYhunter said also if it is like public land in NY bring a flack jacket & a helmet or just go during Bow season

WATCH: clerk with machete chases off armed robber
(NEWSER) – In a move police strongly recommend others don't try to emulate, a machete-wielding clerk chased a would-be armed robber out of a Long Island deli — even after the suspect fired a warning shot from his handgun.
Surveillance video captured the clerk pulling out the machete after the masked man walked into the store and demanded cash. Another clerk at the Brentwood store says his colleague didn't realize the gun was real.
"He thought it was a fake gun — it was a very small gun, so that's why he reacted like that," the clerk told CBS, adding that "in some part, we're proud of him, but in some way he risked his life."

I am writing on behalf of my husband who is 50. When he left his previous employer their contributions, plus government and personal contributions, accumulated a £13,000 Scottish Widows pension pot, which he wishes to cash in as he has other arrangements for his pension income.
Can you tell me of any way he can access this cash by selling it on to some organisation. He is aware he will lose a significant amount, but still wishes to proceed if possible. HH, Glasgow
It is not possible to sell your pension on to somebody else, but we thought you might be able to cash in your pension under an arrangement known as "trivial commutation". This allows you to take the money as long as your total pension benefits across all sources do not exceed £18,000. We checked with Tom McPhail from financial advisers Hargreaves Lansdown, who confirmed that your husband cannot do this until he is 60. In any case, it turns out this does not apply to your husband as he later told us he has a decent pension pot from his current employer, which is on course to be adequate for his retirement. As a result, he would prefer to have the £13,000 now.
His only other option is, at age 55, to access a quarter of the fund as a tax-free lump sum, drawing an income from the balance if he needs to. If this is not advantageous, it might still be a good idea to look at transferring the old fund to the existing pot so at least all his pension provision is one place.
We welcome letters but cannot answer individually. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or write to Bachelor & Brignall, Money, the Guardian, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU. Please include a daytime phone number.

Actually in a sense a Mathematica notebook is also a plain taxt file but it

Best Of :: Food & Drink
You can't miss the place: An oversize red-and-white Peruvian flag, nearly always stretched taut in the breezes that whip across the North Perry Airport, perches atop the smallish storefront eatery, serving as a beacon for all lovers of the Andean nation's sophisticated cuisine. Inside the tiny, wood-paneled dining room, which is lined with medieval-style paintings of saints, this third outpost of the Las Totoritas chain (the other two are located in Miami-Dade County) serves up a dizzying variety of Peruvian specialties. The embossed-leather menus boast such stick-to-your-ribs fare as lomo saltado (sautéed beef with onions and tomatoes) and chicharrón de pollo (deep-fried yet delicately flavored chicken chunks), as well as numerous soups and appetizers. But of course any Peruvian restaurant is only as good as its seafood; by that measure Las Totoritas is fantastic. The jalea is a mouthwatering mound of gently fried squid, octopus, shrimp, and corvina (sea bass) tossed with red onions, tomatoes, and a handful of fresh cilantro. The same fruits of the sea show up in the cebiche mixto but are instead marinated in lemon juice for at least a day, giving them a tart tenderness perfectly complemented by the brightness of the onions and cilantro that accompany this dish, truly a (South) American beauty.
Deep in the retirement belt of western Lake Worth, refugee snowbirds and resident Members of the Tribe flock each morning to savor the crusty, chewy treats from this little storefront operation. The bialy bread is to die for, especially early in the day -- a warm, oblong cloud of moist, puffy bread flecked with crisp burnt onion. The pletzl is a joy, a footwide disc of crusty flatbread under a dense sheet of poppy seeds and onion. How did a Scotsman such as owner Scott McCollough get the knack? A Bronx apprenticeship in his youth taught him, among other things, to boil the bagels before baking them. Sundays offer the bargain of a half-dozen free with every dozen purchased. With the Palace's selection of smoked fish and flavored cream cheeses, you can build a king's feast.
Barbecue snobs have simple but stringent requirements. First of all the standard for judging is a good old-fashioned sandwich. The meat of choice is lean but succulent pork, preferably pulled or in chunks rather than sliced. And it goes without saying that it has to be smoked. Then there's the all-important sauce: tangy but not too tangy, with a hint of sweetness but not too sweet. Pile high on an ordinary bun. If the sandwich is good enough, the side dishes are irrelevant. Georgia Pig succeeds on all counts -- so well, in fact, that we tried the beef sandwich, too, just for the hell of it, and found it quite satisfactory. As a bonus, this long-lived joint on U.S. Highway 441 has its own distinct ambiance. Think '60s greasy spoon meets Deep South honky-tonk, complete with a garish collection of pigs -- on the walls, behind the counter, and on your plate.
Though this pub offers about 130 brands of brew from all over the world, the beer that earns Murray's the prize hails from the abbey of Koningshoeven and is called La Trappe -- because it is made by the abbey's silent Trappist monks. It's fermented in the bottle, a corked crock. We usually choose the "tripple," which signifies triple-fermentation and a hearty 10 percent alcohol. It comes with a hearty price, too: 12 bucks a crock. With a medium, flavorful body and a sweet citrusy aftertaste, the brew is worth every single penny. Hell, the bottle, which has a drawing of the abbey on it, is probably worth the price all by itself. If that's too much, or if you simply don't dig monk brew, another must-have in our book is Fiedler's Pils Im Stein. If you need a guide, call on the owners, father-and-son team Jeff and Jason Dimm, to give you a tour. They're true suds aficionados who love to share their extensive hops knowledge and don't mind giving you a sample or two. While you're sipping some of the finest concoctions ever crafted, the place offers good company, pool tables, and free darts to use on their boards. Now get thee to Murray's.
Half the fun of a bloody mary is where and when you drink it. That's because people almost always consume these spicy delicacies when they really shouldn't be drinking -- in the morning. And if you are going to drink in the morning, you might as well do it at a joint that opens at 7 a.m. That would be the Entrada. Take a seat at the horseshoe-shape bar and order your debauched self one of these beauties. They come with a dollop of horseradish, just the thing you need after a night of living large. Then go outside and dip your toes in the pool. You are sooo South Florida.
OK, so tons of fresh tuna are going through restaurants in seafood-heavy South Florida, and some of the more expensive, elegant spots surely make it as well as it can be done. And some truly great caesar salads are being made out there as well. But both for nine bucks? Uh-uh. Try to get a big, fresh, medium-rare steak of tuna sitting atop a huge pile of fresh romaine lettuce, chopped bacon, and croutons at most places, and they'll charge you at least that and half again. And this is no kiddie salad -- it's a Jethro Bodine bowl. It filled us up, and we're among the manliest men you'll ever see in Broward County. We have big round bellies, hairy backs, thick and furry wrists, knuckles callused from dragging along the ground, and slabs of Angus-like beef stuck to our ribs (well, some of us do, anyway), and that salad beat the hunger out of us. If you feel like a beer and some first-rate seafood at a cut-rate price, go to Flanigan's. Yes, it is a chain and we rarely recommend cookie-cutter restaurants, but Flanigan's warrants an exception, at least the one in Deerfield Beach. (We can't honestly laud all 19 Flanigan's restaurants around South Florida, because we haven't eaten in all of them.) The place, which is located on A1A just a stone's throw from the beach, has an old seafarer's ambiance and great service from people who genuinely seem to like working there. We had two wonderful dinners, an order of conch fritters (also among the best we've ever had), and three or four drafts for about $25. And the tuna, nice and red in the center, virtually melted in our mouths. We're hooked.

Student Guide: Modeling Blood Flow with Straws
What do you think happens to the flow of blood in people's bodies when disease narrows their arteries? You will find out by making and testing models of different artery sizes using straws, disposable cups, and water.
Useful Vocabulary
- Circulatory system: The set of body parts, including the heart, lungs, veins, and arteries, that help move blood all around the body.
- Veins: The small tubes that run throughout the body returning blood to the heart. When the body has removed oxygen from the blood, it travels through the veins, which are usually blue.
- Arteries: The small tubes that run throughout the body carrying blood away from the heart. They are usually red and hold blood that is full of oxygen for the rest of the body to use.
- Diameter: The length across a circle or tube. A quarter has a larger diameter than a dime.
- Coronary heart disease: A type of heart disease where poor nutrition, like foods high in fat and cholesterol, causes the walls of the artery to become thicker. As the walls become thicker, the diameter of the artery (the size of the tube the blood can move through) gets smaller. This can lead to serious health problems, including heart attacks.
- Flow rate: The amount of liquid, like blood, that can pass through a tube over a period of time. A tube that has a gallon of milk flow through it in a minute has a faster flow rate than a tube that has a cup of milk flow through in the same minute.
To do this activity you will need:
- Plastic or Styrofoam cups (2). Both have holes punched in them; one hole should be larger than the other one.
- Straws (2). One will have a larger diameter than the other.
- Play dough, clay, or silly putty
- Pan or basin for catching water
- Water
- For each cup, put one straw in the hole. Put the larger diameter straw in the cup with the larger hole. Put the smaller diameter straw in the cup with the smaller hole. Make sure the hole is not squeezing the straw and narrowing it.
- Use play dough, clay, or silly putty to seal the hole inside the cup and around the straw so that water cannot leak out of the hole. Why do you not want water to leak out the holes? How might that change your experiment?
- Make sure the straws are pointing down so that the water can flow out.
- Do you think the straws will have the same or different flow rates? Why?
|Figure 1. Put play dough, or a similar material, around the straw on the inside of the cup to prevent leaking. Water should only be able to escape through the straw.
- Put both cups in a pan or basin. Quickly fill both cups with water. Fill them to the same level. Either fill the cups at the same time, or fill the cup with the smaller diameter straw first. Watch carefully to see if water stops flowing from the two cups at the same or different times.
- If you have enough water, refill the cups and watch again. Do this several times to see if the results are always the same.
|Figure 2. Water will flow out of both straws. Watch and see if the water stops flowing out of the straws at the same or different times.
- Does water stop flowing out of the two cups at the same or different times? What does this tell you about the flow rate? Is the flow rate of a straw with a large diameter the same or different from the flow rate of a straw with a small diameter?
- Based on your experiment what do you think happens to the flow rate of blood during coronary heart disease? Hint: Remember that people with coronary heart disease have arteries with smaller diameters.

The Billikens return nine starters from last year's squad that grabbed the A-10 regular-season title and finished 12-2-5 overall. Among that group is the A-10's reigning Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year in midfielder Kyle Patterson and defender Calum Angus, respectively.
Besides the Englishmen, forwards Scott Wisniewski, Dado Hamzagic and Jimmy Holmes, who combined for 18 goals and nine assists, are also back. All-A-10 selections Tim Ream and Rob Viviano return to anchor a defense that allowed a league-low 13 goals in 2007.

Dino Eel looking for good home
Just thought I would post this here if anyone would have any interst in my "dino" before I take him to world of fish. He has become too big for my tanks over the past 3 years that i have had him. The picture isnt the best but i would guess that he is about 7 inchs long and pretty fat :) Sad to part with him but its time for him to find another home and I would feel SO MUCh better of someone from this forum took him rather then a LOF..
Ahh a Bichar. I have two in my tank. I love them. Mine are much smaller prob 5" and 4" ea. Quite the personalities~!
I assume they are a no-no with shrimp?
THat fish is on my: "when I get a large fish tank" list. :biggrin:
I have one of these and have had for about 5-6 months and he was 2 inches when I got him and now he is 8 inches and really fat. He eats live goldfish and one time he ate 5.
Bichars are awesome! Mine are Ornates.
Possibly interested, would it be ok with Congo's?
Im not sure what congo's are but like its been said it will try to eat anything that it can get its mouth over. Right now he is in the tank with tiger barbs and they get along fine. He use to live with my bala and knife fish but since then they have both moved on :(
I want to get a school of these as the focal point for my 90 gallon so it may be a non starter if he can snack on them.
Yea i dont think he would play well with them. Sad though. He was like the 2nd fish i bought 3 years ago when first getting into this and of course broke the first rule of not researching the fish before you get them. Now 3 years later hes a killer :mad:

In the past, some drivers would purchase liability insurance, which is often issued in six-month policies, and then cancel the insurance a month or two later. However, they still had the card indicating their vehicle insurance was up to date for the full six months.
Magee said there are three ways to get caught: Law enforcement officers who pull over a driver, license plate issuing officials when a driver renews his or her tag, and the revenue office in
"At any time, a revenue officer can audit any tag in the state," Magee said. "That's the key to this. It was not enforced before."
OIVS does not change the requirement to carry proof of vehicle insurance; drivers must still carry the card.
If OIVS can not verify a driver's insurance when the driver is renewing his car tag, the driver must present proof of insurance. The insurance will then be
verified by the revenue department in
"In a nutshell, I think it's a positive thing," said Hardman. "It will affect everyone in a positive way. Those who have insurance are forced to pay for those that don't, with increased premiums overall."
It is estimated that 22 percent of
And now, the fees are steep for those who do not play by the rules.
The first violation brings a fine of
"The legislators were serious about this bill," Magee said. She is pleased with the tough law, saying it is unfair for law-abiding citizens to get hit by uninsured drivers and get stuck with the bill or have to file on their own insurance.
She said getting and keeping liability insurance is "dirt cheap compared to getting caught the first time."
That is true if a driver has liability insurance only, in accordance with state law, according to Hardman.
"Buying insurance isn't like buying a textbook, where it's all the same price," said Hardman. "It depends on your credit, your driving history and your history of having insurance. You can't just put a blanket price on everyone for insurance."
He said liability insurance alone is fairly cheap, although he "highly recommends" that most drivers have additional policies in order to protect themselves, such as uninsured motorist, collision, a comprehensive policy and others.
"But if you get a policy with only liability, yes, it would be much cheaper" than the fines, he said.
The way OIVS works is that is that the state matched the vehicle registration database with insurance databases, which she said most insurance companies turned over voluntarily.
"The whole goal of this is to lower the number from 22 percent of uninsured drivers to fewer than 10 percent," Magee said.
