TN Traffic Cam Tickets

I'm a Georgia resident and just got a ticket for doing 10 over in a 45 (non-residential area) via a traffic cam. They only have pictures of the plates and the back of the car (not my face).

I seen some posts before saying I could throw it away without worrying about points on my license or increases in my insurance. Can you guys confirm that is still the case? I appreciate it. Have a good one.

Birth Certificate Questions

I was born outside of the US, I have the original.

It took 15 years to get a copy, and I'm wondering if there is anywhere I can go to get Legal copies made?

Health insurance suggestions

Hey everyone!

I’m self-employed with a clean medical record, and I’m exploring options for a private health insurance plan (or non-marketplace options) here in Tennessee. I don’t qualify for subsidies, so I'm mainly looking for reliable coverage that offers good value for someone in my situation.

Has anyone found a private health insurance provider they’re happy with? I was recommended Tennessee Farm Bureau – does anyone here have experience with them, or are there any other options I should consider?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or advice!

Moving to TN...Perry County

Hey everyone! My husband and I (we’re both 34 this spring) are planning a move to Perry County, specifically around the Linden/Lobelville area, to help get my mom's property ready for her. I haven't visited yet, but I know it’s a really small town, so I’d love to connect with folks who are either from the area or familiar with it!

A bit about us: we’re pretty private people but would love to make some friends when we move. We don’t have kids (just some very loved dogs!), and my husband’s a truck driver while I work in an office. Politically, we lean center-right and are mostly Libertarian, in case that matters to anyone. We believe in God but aren’t super religious and are open to connecting with people from all backgrounds.

The plan is to help fix up my mom’s cabin, which was originally built by an Amish family but isn’t fully finished or insulated yet (although they were living there—guess that’s just how they roll!). We're pretty handy and are excited to build two or three more tiny cabins for family and friends to stay in when they visit. We are to go completely off-grid.

Is anyone in the area or nearby? Or maybe you know a good way to meet people in their late 20s to late 30s around here? Most of the social media groups I’ve found don’t seem to have much of a younger crowd. Any advice or connections would be awesome!

Moved on the 9th of Oct

Prefacing my question by saying this is my first time voting in TN after moving here.

I started my lease last year on the 9th of October. When I moved this year, I registered to vote when I went to get my new ID on the 11th. I didn't know TN's voting laws/requirements were so restrictive and thought I would be able to vote on election day. I moved from Colorado and always had my ballot delivered by mail.

Now that it's here, I looked up my voting information and realized the 30 day rule for voter registration. I didn't even think about early voting while I was moving. I checked, I AM registered to vote in the TN county I lived in previously nearby. My new license has my new address.

Can I go to my old county where I am registered to vote to do so? Or could I go to my new address' voting location? Or am I totally boned?

Pardon my ignorance, thank you for the help.

Not Received License adter a Month

Hello.! I had applied for a driver's license renewal at the Gallatin DMV on 10/8. I have still not received it in my mail.

I have tried calling the helpline number listed on their website, but no one picks up. I have submitted my number thrice for a callback last week, nada. Submitted a form on their website with screenshots and all, no response.

I desperately need that license since I will be traveling abroad for the next month, and that's a crucial ID for me.

Any suggestions on what I should do next? Not sure whether physically going to the DMV and asking for a status update will help, since they are full of people all day. Do you think the elections and voting stuff might be contributing to this delay?

Voting question…

Does my drivers license address have to match what they have on file in order for me to vote. Will I need to bring utility bill with the right address as well as ID? TIA!

EV Tax Rant

I'm sure that there are several posts about this new EV tax that is being rolled out this year. What I don't understand is that I drive a RAV4 hybrid, fill up weekly, and will spend the same amount of money as someone driving a small sedan like a Honda Civic... So now my registration has more than doubled to make up for "lost" taxes?? I get it for fully electric vehicles, but for a standard hybrid?? Super frustrating!

Can someone tell me how to look up specific laws or laws on specific topics for Tennessee?

I’m not the best researcher. I’ve been looking for about 30 min so far and only come to this website which I’m having a hard time navigating on my phone. I don’t have access to a computer. I can’t tell if I’m in the right place or not. And when I search for bill topic, the topic comes up, I click on it, and then basically a blank page comes up.

Thanks in advance!

Tennessee Fishing Trip in the Fall

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for some great bass fishing locations in Tennessee for next year, focusing on rivers (heavily) and maybe some lakes near the mountains. I plan to rent a cabin in a small town (suggestions welcome and needed), as I’d prefer to avoid the larger tourist cities.

I would appreciate any recommendations for fishing spots, as well as insights on the best times of year to visit and why those times are ideal.

I also want to express my sympathy for the communities affected by Hurricane Helene. I know many areas are working hard to recover, and I hope to support local businesses during my visit.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Help in the search

Hey yall!!! I doubt there is much to be done, but I am trying to figure out who these people are… This is a postcard picture and is from somewhere in the 1920s or 1930s. I know it is tied to my 3x great grandparents as their names are on the back, but I don’t know if they are meant to be the senders or the recipients. My 3x great grandparents were Clarence Alex Cobb and Allye Irvin Ezell Cobb, and they lived in the area of Indian Mound and Big Rock in Stewart County, Tennessee. The couple in the picture could be kin to Cobbs, Gaffords, or Ezells, from Stewart, Houston, Dickson, or Montgomery County in TN, or Trigg or Christian County in KY. Thank you in advance for any help yall can provide!

First time voting and they gave me a card and candy.

The lady asked if i was a first time voter and i said yes. She held this card in the air and yelled “ first time voter!” And the whole room clapped and cheered like one of those fake Reddit stories lol. Super embarrassing but pretty neat!
