I just sent them a few hundred dollars last week.
Do you think there was an attendant safety inspection?
Do you think it costs hundreds of dollars to update a record in an electronic database?
Gray Davis just got carried away, so the voters sent him packing, but vehicle registration fees are about raising revenue, not keeping you safe.

The fees may be used for a lot of things, but registering your car itself is not about revenue. Neither are exams and licensing. The world is not black or white.
Florida doesn't do a safety test? Hell, even in Texas, they drive the car, make sure the brakes work, all the lights work, washer blade works and measure the tire tread.
Nope. Go online and make your payment, they mail your plate or sticker.
My new plate is laying in the floor of my car, but I'll feel safer (from the road pirates) when I put it on.
Interesting. Surprised the Jiffy Lubes of Florida haven't lobbied for the safety test. However, it may be just in my county; but they do the safety test, gas cap integrity and then emissions. Texas went to the one sticker method (rather than two: emissions and registration), total cost is about $80.
I was in a Burger King in high school when an old man pulled into a spot and hit the gas instead of the brake. Jumped the curb, straight through the wall. Car was half in the building, and like yours, just good luck that nobody was at the tables against the wall.
No you don't. The government says you ought to have one under penalty of law, but you don't need one. I've read many a thread on this site complaining about slow left lane driver or some dumbass doing something on the road... The license didn't make them a better driver. If licenses really meant anything, they'd make everyone take a driver's test every 5 years which would include driving in wet/snowy conditions, rush hour traffic, gravel roads, and at night, then take away a license to anyone that doesn't show that competency. Similarly, I'm sure there are many people out there that don't have a license and drive better than most of us that do.

I've seen how they drive in countries that don't require licenses and insurance. Where anything with wheels is allowed on the road and anyone can drive.
I'm happy with how we have it here.

Dude Freddy's is delicious. Their burgers are OK, I mean nothing to write home about, but their frozen custard is ridiculous.
