BonesOfTheMoonSovcit got ripped out of his car this time.
Private tags for private roads. The state owns the public roads and represents the public. We’ve all agreed to pitch in costs and register vehicles on our roads. If you want to use them, that’s all you have to do, otherwise it’s trespassing.
How do you feel about the Amish using buggies on roads without license plates or paying gas tax?
Buggies are animal-powered, and by law (in nearly all states) that exempts the vehicle from needing plates. You don’t have to be Amish to “take advantage” of this “loophole.”
PeppycitoAround here you can drive “farm implements” on roads without licenses. I know a redneck dude who drives his tractor to go to the legion since he lost his drivers license.
Flying SquidCan’t drink and drive if it doesn’t count as driving! *taps noggin*
Indiana actually does require a license plate and fee for a horse drawn carriage. Most other states do not at this time, though there are proposals in some.
Ah, that’s why I was about to tell OP that wasn’t true. I’m in Indiana and haven’t ever seen Amish people when I’ve been to other states.
