Hi David, - First reply was yours - thanks - I'll read the rest in a
minute. Perhaps you've not been over here since they abandoned having to
display a tax disc on your car - dumb idea or what! Also, at least pre 73
is MOT (UK inspection equivalent exempt) - go figure.
Regards
Daniel

You did not mention Registration, but all states require some form. <br>
It can be for just one or for multiple years. It is primarily a tax. <br>
States used to require that the registration be visible to law <br>
enforcement looking in the drivers window. Common methods were little <br>
plastic cases that were strapped to the steering column or to the <br>
sunscreen. <br>
The collapse of civilization ended that practice. Crooks would get the <br>
address off the registration then go burglarize your home...<br>
The simple tax disc is a much more elegant system.<br>
<br>
Safety and/or smog inspections are another whole different can of worms.<br=
