I am also a victim of MA not not being on the national license reporting system. But real problems were not here but in Florida. In 2002 I was in a minor accident driving my mom's car while on vacation in Orlando. I was fully covered under her insurance and I paid all tickets from it. My license was from out of state, the car was from out of state and not in my name. Florida being Florida assumed I had no insurance at all. Florida then suspended my driving privileges and never informed me and of course the Mass RMV was never informed . Flash forward to 2008 on another vacation to Florida with my ex wife and then in-laws. I get pulled over for a speeding on the Florida Turnpike. The cop then asks if I was in an accident in Orlando. He said I either didn't have insurance or I didn't pay the ticket and arrests me on the side of the highway. You should have seen the look on in-laws' faces. I spent a lovely night in jail and many new friends. I spent many hours that trip at the Florida 'DMV' to get this cleared up. And still had to make another trip for the court date. When I get home of course I go to RMV because the Florida cops confiscated my license. Of my MA license is perfectly good no record of anything from Florida. So of course they never suspended me. If they had I would have taken care of this years earlier. Of course if FL had talked to MA they would seen that I was in a fully insured car in the first place.
