Multi Street legal?

[Bradley-Thornton]

I have researched this thoroughly. Even though I could get a tag from South Dakota, it is still illegal to operate on the road in Mississippi. The title still sais off-road only. The only way to be legal is to have the title reclassified as a motorcycle, then get a Mississippi motorcycle tag. That is a fact... I gave up for now.

You can ride South Dakotas tag in MS. I live in MS. And my registration doesn't say off-road only. I did mine through Dirtleagel.com How they did it I don't know. But when I asked what speed road I could ride I was told if I can do the speed I'm good even HWYs.

Wow, and this is why I love AZ, I pay $50 a year for my off road tag and on road tag, then it is just having DOT tires (got pulled over for that one), horn, reflectors (for night driving) and eye protection. Here they register SxS's as motorcycles (on road), so no turn signals needed just hand signals.

I take that back... It sais utility vehicle... But nowhere does it say off-road only... Hmmm. @Bradley-Thornton have you been stopped by a policeman or lady yet? I just don’t want to waste my money if I’m going to get harassed for it...

I live in Hattiesburg so its one of the bigger cities I would think it would make it easier to get stopped. To date I have not been pulled over. I have seen some cops and they haven't said anything yet. I have a friend the is a sheriff and he says I'm good to go.

Will update if anything changes.

 

[Bradley-Thornton]

I went by the police station today no problems I did have one cop today hit his brakes but he was passing I thing once he seen I had a tag he just kept going.

I would like to add I have my windshield up like in this pic. I would think if they were going to pull me over it would be for that.

Here in Colorado, at least a few counties are issuing tickets to SxS owners if you have a CO. drivers license and an out of state (South Dakota) license plate.

This is the quote on Dirtlegal.com website: “Your UTV will be registered with an out of state license plate, it’s advised to check with your local county to ensure this won’t be an issue.“

Here in CO., it’s an issue! Highly advise you check with any county you plan on riding in because this is how they stopped us here.

States get money from veh reg, therefore they want as many veh as possible to be reg with them. Odds are, in La. you would not get by with operating a veh licensed in SD for very long. Around a larger city, yeah maybe a little while. In a more rural area, the LEOs living/working that area will notice it to be strange in short order and make a stop. After a warning period to reg in LA, charges would follow. Additionally, even when legal, UTV have very LIMITED use of public roads in LA.

Sounds like some LEOs around there are not very familiar with Mississippi laws.

Its almost like you want me to get in trouble. I'm not out being stupid. Just using it like a jeep. I have blinkers, horn, Safety flashers, set belts, doors, DOT tires, Side mirrors, and rearview. No reason for me not to be able to ride it on the street. The only thing I don't have is a DOT windshield. I really don't see why that would be a problem if its plastic, as long as its not glass. The one thing I have that I shouldn't is bead lockers.

LOL ...... no, I have no desire for you to get in trouble. THAT is why I have attempted to let you know the truth. If you wish to ignore, that is fine with me. Since I KNOW the truth, I feel obligated to let others know so THEY may avoid any problem or waste their money.

The below info is for OTHERS knowledge @William ...... lol
Do I need to title/register an ATV? Utility Vehicle? Golf Cart? Motorized Scooters, Mini-Bikes, Dirt Bikes, Go-Karts, Motor Assisted Bicycles?
In Mississippi ATV’s are voluntarily titled but they are not issued a license plate (registered.) It is unlawful for any person to operate these vehicles on an interstate highway, federal highway or state highway, or in the corporate limits of any city unless authorized by such city. Please contact your local authorities and property owners for information about operation of these devices on private property.


I’m moving to Mississippi. How long do I have before I have to get a Mississippi tag?
You have 30 days to register your vehicle(s) in Mississippi if you have a current registration (license plate) in your prior state of residence. If you do not register within 30 days of moving into this state, you will be charged the standard late fees and a $250 penalty. You will not be allowed the Legislative Tag Credit if your previous license plate has expired, or, if you never registered the vehicle in your prior state of residence.


How do I report someone for not having the right license plate, such as the wrong county or an out-of-state plate?
You should report this violation to your county Tax Collector’s office.

 

[Amre2me2]

BigOL3, That’s another good point you brought up about how much time you have to register your vehicle after you purchase it or move into a new state. I didn’t mention that but again, here in CO., they are using that also to make licensing SxSs illegal.
Personally, I’d like to be able to license my SxS but there‘s too many obstacles in the way right now. Hope some day that will change.

 

[Gold-digger]

One thing you will need to do is have your DMV send your lender a request for your title so they can change it to on road use.
that's what is required in Washington State after you get an inspection of modification.

Waiting on mine from dirt legal now

 

[TheFatRooster]

Mine was pretty cheap here. I wormed through an administrative loophole and got a Florida plate.

Are you a fl resident?

Resurrecting this to see if anyone has used Dirt Legal or some other process recently? I'm interested in getting plates for my P1K5 to avoid to avoid possible issues. I'm a Missouri resident.

 

[Cobber4082]

South Dakota is super easy. Did mine this spring. All in it was like $50-60. Would have to look to make sure but think I used Lawrence county

Thanks! Do you have to renew annually? Did you have to have a title? I only have a certificate of orgim from dealer/Honda- no lien.

 

[Cobber4082]

Yes annually renew ,think it's supposed to be $35 ish... iowa does not issue title either but they do have registration and that sufficed, I did have exhibit proof of sales tax payment also. Assume certificate of origin would suffice as I had to surrender mine to iowa upon registration. Basically you will be dual registered south dakota and Missouri.
Iowa requires registration to ride roads here and insurance also. All necessary forms on county website
