Because that would be weird.
Hey look Trae there you are on the far right of the first panel.
Correction, 2nd panel.
…I mean, that’s fair. It’s not like you can plan on a car exploding, and once one does, there’s probably other things on your mind than the backup registration.
Oh hell, I’d be stricken absolutely speechless there. For once, something went wrong with reg, and it’s COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE AND MAKES SENSE. This stuff is unicorn territory. I’d practically be in tears – for once the problems would have a logical, explicable, and sensible cause. It’s even one you could explain to cranky line-standers. It’s even one some of them are liable to accept! Maybe.
Plus, this accident seems to have at least temporarily slapped Garner into non-obstructionism. So he has that going for him, which is nice.
I don’t know about -completely- understandable (‘wait, the car just…. blew up?’), but it’s a far better situation than most.
Yep. Yep. Yep.
We make sure multiple people, not ont he same car or plane, travel with electronic copies of important documents, but quite often there’s only one printout. (Sometimes, SOMETIMES there’s two.)
This is honestly as good as a con can be expected to do. The Plan B has a plan C to back it up, and if plan C is inconvenient.. well, the sheer fact of its existence is good work.
This is why you do 2 copies of the hard copy held by 2 diffrent people
If the hard copy is Plan A, sometimes this is wise! We’ve done so.
If the hard copy is Plan B, heck nah. Don’t waste paper and printer ink you’re unlikely to need, especially on multiple copies, especially if you have a printer readily available to you. But having a thumbdrive and/or dropbox and/or Doogle Docs of assorted things? Heck yes.
