Not even close.... How about you start reading the laws, instead of spewing crap?

Thank you!


Like I said, read the laws and stop being an e-douche. Do I make sense now?

1998 B4C

Not a good idea. If you fail to take care of a ticket in another state, they will notify the state you are licensed in and your license will be suspended in both states. Yes both, because the other state will issue you a drivers license number for their record keeping.

I understand the temptation tho.

E-douche?

Wow. Got to love ls1tech and its big bad bullies.

I guess CA is the dad to VA. I live in Indiana and have never been hassled when going to Illinois for my tint or for not having a front plate. So if I ever travel to CA and Im in my car, I can get a ticket for no front license plate even though my state issues one? HAHAHAHHA BS.

Correct, unless you can prove you are just visiting. That goes for every vehicle law.

Since driving is considered a privilege, not a right, you have to conform to the laws if you want to take advantage of the privilege.

Ive traveled through and too many two plate states and NEVER been hassled once as soon as they see my license and insurance is from another state. Same with tint.

I guess CA is just an e-douche state.

I cant magically make my car have another license plate when the state issues one. It just does not make sense. Should I register my car in CA for 4 days if Im visiting family? How the hell does that work?

well they are not e-douches if they are giving you the ticket in person now are they? lol.

Cops out here can be dicks just depends I have always been honest and cool with cops and they are pretty cool with me.

Well, did some digging. Of course, I figured out what the deal was and that I was right with the plates.

It's not just California, many states follow this same practice. Again, if you can prove you are visiting, it should not be an issue. This is the reason many states want a vehicle being regularly driven in the state to be registered within a certain amount of time.

LEOs that issue a ticket even after being told you are visiting, and showing them a license, registration and insurance from another state, are not necessarily trying to make your life miserable. They are simply enforcing the law that the state has put in place in order to drive there. Being a visitor doesn't excuse you from following the laws, but in almost all cases you would be given a warning and let go if all documents are in order, unless you have been pulled over for something other than tint or an improperly displayed license.

I don't know which states, but I believe there are a couple that don't allow a vehicle to be driven at all unless registered there.

Just because you aren't 'hassled' by LEO's in other states, does not mean you are abiding by their laws.

And yes: When only one license plate is issued for use upon a vehicle, it shall be attached to the rear thereof

But what you don't understand is they ALWAYS issue two plates. The only time they don't issue two is for motorcycles and trailers I believe. They are simply clarifying where the plate you were issued should reside on the vehicle.

Oh, would you looky there...

Truck Tractor: Display of Plates
4850.5. (a) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 4850 and Section 5200, the department, upon registering a truck tractor, shall issue to the owner one suitable license plate or other device which identifies the vehicle for which it is issued and for the period of its validity. The license plate or other device shall be attached to the front of the vehicle.
(b) This section shall become operative only when and if the Department of the California Highway Patrol implements a program which requires identifying numbers on the right and left sides of truck tractors.

Added Ch. 183, Stats. 1985. Effective January 1, 1986.

The reason is more likely so that the state can realize the revenue that comes from having to register the car in that state, be it registration fees, sales tax, personal property tax, etc.

Site some documentation for this one, or I call BS.

As I implied, I don't know which ones, or even if this is a certain thing. Just something I heard in passing. It very well could be nonsense.

Or in states where they only issue ONE plate like Indiana.

Colorado requires military personal to register their vehicle with the state even if they clame a different state as home of record (meaning they pay taxes to a different state).

Okay they issue one plate. It still does not change the fact that you must conform to the laws of the state that you are driving in. It has been mentioned already that if you explain that you are just visiting for a few days they will most likely let you go. However, if they do issue you a citation just go get it signed off when you get back into your state and pay the $25. It's really not a big deal and I don't see why people are getting so worked up over it.
