People who don't have the strip at all aren't breaking any laws, and they aren't required to get strips added. It's just that the DMV won't give out new cards that don't have the strip. Presumably just like the post office and zip codes: you don't *need* it, but it speeds things up if you've got it. - -sq -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAwUBMEAOrVIP+Y8TPTdtAQHADAQAuZUNX+cuW/nJHBSoc4KW1+C1LpJFWhUB vXJoA7kgLuq3J38fuk/NNJ2/96z+DQdp8woJxk7PQu5LOdTRQrUajB1sxYL4vB9B m9gELh/sdmtoSpXcraQMRCMKYnWHiBUZJzvEqBIEbBjM4Q4y4DDkHN3S+yukPTyk AQW8vmlCEaw= =8fIS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
