As is mine, but voluntarily. Many automobile drivers on the road today don’t satisfy the requirement for insurance, how many more would be uninsured if there was no requirement? And yes, this also shows that registration does not ensure compliance.

Your argument is just as valid for automobiles. There is nothing about the fee or the paper that makes the vehicle safe.

Still just a guess, but a registration requires that at one point in time a minimal set of requirements was met. Registration renewal asserts that those conditions are still being met. It all could be a lie, but it is a little better than nothing.

The small number of LSVs that will pay the fee can’t be much of a moneymaker.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
