(Cascade County) Don't recall when it went into effect, but it's been a while. I've had perm plates on my '94 since 04. Also motorcycles and trailers get perm plates no matter the age.

Dave Inc. posted:At least for South Carolina it's technically* illegal to do this, because the car must be registered in state if it has been there for more than 45 days. That enforcement is generally lax doesn't absolve people of breaking the law. That's illegal in most states, if not all. Some states are definitely more lax than others with enforcement though. I drove out to the west coast a couple years ago, spent all of ~48 hours in California, and then about a month later got a letter in the mail from the Cali DMV saying something to the effect of "We saw you were driving a car with Texas license plates here, you better register it in California if you live in California now."

Love seeing Hawaii plates in California. Dude let's be honest. Although I'm sure a bunch are military folks.

When I lived in Boston there was a guy with a Chevy Avalanche with Hawaii plates for a couple years, until he eventually replaced them with MA plates (with the same tag)

One of the people we share the road with tried to drive his rig with two cargo containers under the railway overpass (13' 10") at the intersection of two major streets here in Spokane. Before 7:30 AM, based on how much traffic had backed up. He got far enough to block half the cross street, which was far enough to shove his containers back, with the rear one hanging slightly less than half-off the back of the trailer.  Eventually they got everything towed off onto the side streets and brought in a crane to re-mount the containera, on two different trailers. I guess the trestle was OK as they still had trains running after all that was cleared out from underneath.

dee eight posted:That's a bit of a silly law. Technically, Joe Contractlabor would have to re-register his truck if he worked in SC for 2 months and then again when he went back home to Hogpen, GA. Typically those laws only apply to permanent residents. Otherwise it'd also apply to college students and the like.

At least in NYC, Florida seems the most common. wolrah posted:Typically those laws only apply to permanent residents. Otherwise it'd also apply to college students and the like. I'm reasonably certain that every state has a law that residents have to register their vehicles (and get a new license) with the state of residence. It's funny because, for motorcycles at least, vermont is a workaround for getting a title for old or small untitled bikes and they have, in their FAQ, on their DMV site "Does a person have to be a resident of Vermont in order to register a vehicle in Vermont? No"

Back in the 90s my dentist got an impaired and was going to lose his Alberta drivers license, so he somehow got a Montana license so he kept driving. Not sure how it worked with Montana but he pulled it off but  That was also the time frame when there were no speed limits on Montana highways.

There always used to be ads in DuPont Registry for a company called "alaskan auto trust" to register your expensive cars in Alaska, but i'm guessing that got busted because it all went tits up pretty quickly.

Hello friend, doing 80 in a 110 km/h zone is inadvisable as it makes it very difficult to merge between you, and the person behind you going a normal loving speed on the goddamn highway. Good thing I noticed you were dawdling when I did, or I would have rear-ended you at something approaching, but definitely distinct from, highway speed.

wolrah posted:Typically those laws only apply to permanent residents. Otherwise it'd also apply to college students and the like. YMMV, but I got pulled over while in the military more than once. Having a DL from Wisconsin and California plates on my bike were of no concern to the LEO when he saw my military ID. Not sure if that still applies. An one thing that would be impossible to get away with today, I had two valid driver's licenses for 2+ years. Pre-internet. I would give the cop my WI DL when pulled over, and my insurance got my clean, ticket free, CA DL. Saved me a lot of money, back in the day.

Backing up the ramp is stupid, but I understand why a stupid person might want to do it. What I don’t understand is why they pulled a one‐eighty so they could back up along Gender Road.

At first I thought they were just reversing down the ramp like "oh gently caress this" after seeing the traffic. But then they... keep driving in reverse. What. Like did their transmission grenade every gear but R and they're like "gently caress paying for a tow, I got this"?

Just two people deciding they've had it up to here with our RULES in orange county CA today, driving on the 5 at like 830p, newish Corolla with its lights off, driver sitting in complete darkness. With my auto dimming mirror i could only see the car behind me as like a dark shimmery silhouette blocking light from drivers behind Thought that would be enough fun for one night but then there was a guy doing 50 in the fast lane with a flat front right tire. I suppose if you're going to drive in the fast lane with a flat tire there's no reason to put your hazards on either

What happens if someone goes on a tank rampage and tries to kill people - i.e. driving it at schools or malls? How do they stop it? You can't put down spike strips or PIT a tank

Put every cop car you have on the street, try to move people out of the tank’s way, and wait till the driver makes a mistake and gets stuck. Heemeyer dropped into a basement. Nelson got hung up on a freeway barrier.

Or so Wikipedia says. Nelson’s article provides no citation for that claim. Heemeyer’s article gives this book as a citation. I’d like contemporary sources but I can believe it.

I was a person you share the road with today but only as a result of another. Came across a broken down car sitting in the middle lane of a 3 lane motorway. The traffic in both lanes was doing 80km/h so trying to squeeze in was difficult to say the least. I thought I had a gap so I took it but the person coming up that lane wasn’t happy to slow down even though they’d pulled into the same lane not long before hand.

I was going to make a crack about it being a Chrysler product and the transmission probably poo poo itself and R was the only gear that worked, but I think it's an Isuzu or something, so
