P1000 Assembled vehicle title equipment inspection - Michigan

[NorthernJoe]

I need to clarify my State Farm quote. The $1332 quote was for me. The $713 quote is for my wife. Needless to say the insurance is in my wife's name. There is no explanation for the difference. We are the same age and no tickets or accidents in many years.

My $810 covers any licensed driver but excludes any coverage if I go through the ice

Finally happened. We got stopped by the Colorado state police today. He says the michigan plate is no good in Colorado. Tried to reason with him to no avail. The officer connected me to his supervisor and same results. The guy threatened to have us towed, but backed off eventually. I'm under the assumption that I'm legal in any state in the union. I've searched and so far cannot find anything that will work for proof that my vehicle can drive on Colorado roads. Can anyone cite me a law that allows or prohibits this activity?

 

[Jimrm]

I agree with you. I think there must be a document somewhere online that defines the fact that it's legal to drive my machine in colorado. Now to find it.

@Tramguage1 you might spread this to the group that goes West a lot?

If you live in the United States and frequently travel across state lines, you've likely not given much thought to whether or not your vehicle is legally

No surprises there! Look at our $hit show run by Big Gretch and her brown shirts.

He said he's got a Michigan plate so it must be legal to drive there.
I just got turned down where I live in Ohio. My city allows golf cart street use but NOT utvs.
So maybe I need to get some golf cart body panels and some clubs for the back

🤣 You would think that it would be the same because of that right? Lol but that’s the hypocrisy of the left just like the Nazis they’d turn on their own people in five seconds.

Not sure how your r/l theory causes this problem. My local gvmt. Is largely republican and they allow pink and brightly colored golf carts but not a UTV.
I haven't decided if or how I would fight it.
The wording at the bottom of BMV form 1373: states the operator must find out WHERE the vehicle is Allowed to be driven in each jurisdiction. Its BS for sure. I got blinkers and all that do me no good.

Your Gov is full of Rhinos then.

Look deep into the corrupt Gov currently of Michigan in the past 10 or so years and you will answer your own question. There is so much swamp to wade through trying to explain in depth on this platform would take writing a New York Best seller novel. Thats how the libs like to make it happen, slow and easy so u dont know how it can happen

Local government doesn't create state laws. If it's local only, it would likely be an ordinance.

How long as that state law been in place? Who sponsored the bill that became law? Who signed it into law? Just because your local government is largely Rebublican TODAY doesn't mean they are responsible for all past legislation. IIRC, Ohio has spent plenty of time under Democrat leadership (and I use that word loosely when referring to liberals in power).

The link provided by @LarryAmboy shows Colorado doesn't have reprocity for street legal UTVs. Just like CPL laws, some states recognize them, others don't.

 

[Scoop]

Well, FJB and F Colorado. 😜

Agreed

Unfortunately this link isn’t completely accurate.

Ex…by following this link it tells you South Dakota is forbidden. Montana is another.

In South Dakota my UTV is registered just like a motorcycle. Must have headlights brake light and a lighted license plate and a mirror. The utv must be able to go 45, and can operate on ANY state, county or township road except the interstate.

Also talks about reciprocity but then doesn’t clearly state if the destination state allows reciprocity or not.

Passing thru Colorado years ago, I remember seeing all kinds of them on the state highways. Maybe they were jumping trails? I don’t know for sure.

imo don’t trust the internet…make a call to the destination sheriffs office. They will give it to you straight. It’s not like UTVs haven’t been around for a few years now.

Sadly, local LE doesn't always know the law. Some because they don't know it and some because they choose to not know it (if you know what I mean).

Call just about any LE agency in MI and ask them a question about firearms. 80% will give you a wrong answer. Most gun aficionados know more about thier state laws than LE in thier municipality.

I'm surprised this simple issue is still being kicked around without resolution.

The CO state police officer was clearly correct. To him it was very simple. UTVs, ATVs, ORVs are not allowed to be licensed or operated on the highways, roads, and streets in Colorado so he enforced CO law. The state of MI has no authority whatsoever to authorize ORV registration or use on public roads in CO. Period. There is no reciprocity agreement for this issue.

How would each of us like it if our state prohibits ORV use but someone from another state can operate an ORV in our state?

Understanding begins with the US Constitution. The Constitution established the United States as a constitutional republic made up of 50 sovereign states. All powers not granted to the Republic remain with each state. CO and all states have the power to make and enforce laws within their state.

Reciprocity only exists between states for activities that are legal in both states. Each state has the sovereign power to make and enforce laws allowing registration and operation of passenger vehicles and light trucks on their public roads. All states allow this and all states allow passenger cars and light trucks registered in another state by residents of the other state to operate within the other state for a limited time only. Reciprocity agreements are convenient. They often apply for concealed carry and other activities.

ORVs are not legally operated in all states so reciprocity agreements do not apply.
