Episode Title: Virginia Tags, No Accountability: How Maryland Lost Control of Its Roads

In this episode of The Jimmy Mathis Show, Jimmy breaks down the growing problem of vehicles operating on Maryland roads with Virginia tags—and why the lack of enforcement has turned it into a serious public safety and accountability issue.

What began as a loophole has become a system of avoidance: unpaid traffic fines, weaker insurance requirements, bypassed inspections, and drivers who operate as if the rules don’t apply to them. Jimmy examines why this issue has persisted for years, why it’s finally getting attention in Annapolis, and what lawmakers—and law enforcement—could be doing right now without passing a single new law.

This episode cuts through the noise to expose how unequal enforcement undermines trust, endangers drivers, and punishes the people who actually follow the rules.
