I think it depends… on safety issues like seat belts and stuff, yes 10% of yearly income is acceptable. However, if I’m 1 week out from renewing my registration? Screw that, its the government just wanting more money from me owning my car. Its not going to kill someone if my truck has been registered under my name before and i forget to get it reupped that week. I’m not advocating forever mind you, just give some leniency on bureaucratic crap that won’t affect safety of anyone.
