(Actually, do you have any evidence that the recession has caused
people to let their registrations lapse and take cars off the road?
Yes, it's possible.)

   So why should there be lines in the registry?

The last two or three times I went to the Watertown Reigstry office,
things moved along quickly, there was someone to make sure you were in
the right line, and the experience was much less painful than I had
expected.  Prior to about five years ago, though, things were very
slow and painful.  It seems to me as if their procedures have improved
substantially.
