Displaying Front Plate In CA

[thomasward00]

I'll be staying in San Francisco with my fiance for about 6 months while I work a contract at Cisco, being a New Orleans resident my car is registered in Louisiana, which is a 1 plate state. I will be keeping my insurance and registration here in louisiana, I would never buy a car in california with all the emission controls.

When I moved out here 10 months ago, I kept my Jeep registered in Michigan. But its illegal to not change your insurance, because of different laws.

I actually saved $50 a month in insurance going for a MI policy to a CA policy...

Oh ya, I live a block from the police station, and I drove that Liberty for 5 months right past it every day with the one Michigan plate.

I remember someone telling me that the state of iowa built a mentally handicapped hospital school system there. That they brought in thousands of mentally challenged folks for care. And that it raised the I.Q. level of iowa by 15 points state wide by doing that.

you have a Toyota and ALL Toyota's conform to Cali emssions laws by default that way they don;t have to make 2 versions for the USA market .. look at the sticker it says all 50 states emissions rating .. BTW the Yaris is rated by Cali as a ultra-low emssion vehicle meaning that it never needs to get a 2 year smog test .. my 2001 Tacoma Pre-Runner 4 banger was the same rating , had that puupy 7 years and never had to smog it . That's what makes Toyota's Soo Cool !!

as for aftermarket stuff & tints if yer not in a drug / gang area / LA or doing something stupid to draw attention to yer self .. they don't even bother with ya .. BUT the Hiway Patrol will give you a ticket for anything once they pull you over , keeps you from complaining about undue police harassment

BUT for plates they(the CHP) have a Hard On for any thing plate related

By California law, if you are living in California for six months, you need to register your automobile in the State of California (therefore getting front and rear California license plates, and changing your insurance to the area that you'll be living), and obtain a California driver's licence.
