Reckless driving?

According to the Secretary of State's Office it looks as if you may need the title in order to register the vehicle. If you're purchasing the title new then you might be able to provide the sales receipts as proof of ownership and the title would be on file at which time they would transfer to you. If you're purchasing used from a dealer it should apply the same way. If used from a private seller then you should have gotten the title from the seller when you purchased it. If they don't have it or say they've lost it then you'd need to file for a lost title, again showing receipts that you've purchased the vehicle.
Hope this helps. I cannot remember the length of time it takes for your title to come in the mail. You might want to call the number listed on the site and they should be able to help you with that.
I referenced the Secretary of State's Office below,

According to their site you need:
"To register a motor vehicle, provide either the previous registration or proof of insurance and ownership documents.
Titling and Registering Vehicles
Tax and Title
Within 15 days of buying a vehicle, you must title it in your name at a Secretary of State branch office. Failure to transfer the title within that time will result in a $15 late fee. At the time of titling, a $15 title transfer fee will be collected as well as 6% use tax. Sales to father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, husband, wife, grandparents, grandchildren, stepfather, stepmother, stepchild, stepsister, stepbrother, legal ward, or legal guardian of the previous owner are tax-exempt.
Obtaining an Instant Title
Individuals who need to obtain a title may process an application at any Secretary of State branch office. Title applications require proof of vehicle ownership and proper identification. Individuals who have lost an existing Michigan title and need to obtain a duplicate title immediately can take advantage of instant title service at several branch offices.
In addition to the $15 title fee, there is a $5 instant title fee for this service."
