This gives the state a legal interest in the car. Thereafter, you are effectively "leasing" your use of it from the state, and your insurance is paid to indemnify the state against liabilities it would otherwise incur from mechanical failure and/or operator error. Since the state has a legal interest in it, your use of that "vehicle" is construed legally as "interstate commerce" -- i.e. commerce among the several states, even if you operate it intra-state. The whole thing is a revenue scheme for the state government. For proof, try to obtain the original MSO for your car or truck. The request will put the state in a big bind, because they will not want to admit that they have it in the first place.
