I get what you're saying, but I've heard a few cops advise if vehicles not to move the vehicles (ie: to the side) unless advised by them. Helps to reduce risks of hit and run scenarios and the cop can see evidence on the road matching the locations of the vehicles if the stories are inconsistent. I think it's typically because people can't remotely tell the difference of, "It's a scuff that'll buff out." vs "You're going to need to get that police report and sticker because it's over the damage threshold." and the moment there's discussion about moving the vehicles after checking the damage, they're more likely to consider doing a hit and run thinking it's NBD.

I need to move a few bucks around. I have some investment crap with regular RBC and Direct Investing. I stupidly put some stuff in just regular RBC. Trying to sell or anything requires a in branch appointment where I can do it in 5 minutes at Direct.

Phone my advisor loser, doesn't return calls, just a form email three days later with a link to book an appointment, where the link doesn't even work.

Can I just move the stuff to Direct Investing? I think they do this so some loser at the branch gets a commision. Why do branches exist?

How difficult is it to get an address corrected in Google Maps? I got a hotel fixed a few years ago that was wrong.

Current company moved a year ago and people coming in for meetings go to the wrong place all the time. Its amateurish. IT guy said who cares. Well I care. Does the president have to OK it.

Is it a giant pain that I should just ignore it. I use google maps 20 times a day. Maybe no one else does.

It's pretty easy to change your business address for the IT person. He's not doing his job. Remind him he should do it with Microsoft, too, since some people Bing for some reason.

You can initiate a transfer at Direct Investing. They will then send the transfer form to your branch and it gets handled by back office. No human interaction needed.

Done in two minutes. My account was locked this morning mysteriously after I told my advisor yesterday I was moving all my stuff so had to phone in the unlock. Beautiful.

I saw a Cybertruck with 48V as a custom license plate. The Cybertruck has 48 volt auxiliary power, where most vehicles are 12v. Someone thought paying actual money for a custom plate to advertise this fact was worth their money, and important enough to do, for some reason. But then, they also bought a Cybertruck so I guess I shouldn't look for rationality here.

It's like a 4WD badge on a RAV4.

Does anyone know what VE6 means on custom plates? Someone told me it's basically V6, but I dunno.
