Am I allowed to ride my motor scooter in another state? |
I have a motor scooter (49cc engine, two wheels, DOT certified) which I use in my resident state of Maryland. I live on the state line with PA and DE and would like to ride in both of those states. MD is kinda cool, in that it treats the scooter as a regular bike, except I need a driver's license. What that means is that I don't need insurance (although I have it) and I don't need tags (and I can't get them.) Both PA and DE require motor scooters to have tags on them. Am I allowed to use my scooter in those state, as an out-of-state resident, in the same way that, for instance, a PA driver can drive in MD, even though as a resident of MD, I need a front and back tag, whereas a PA driver needs only a back tag? I have searched and searched on the respective DMV sites for this, but I can't find the answer... I called the DMV in PA once and was told there wasn't a problem, but I was looking for a little peace of mind. Thanks! Paul If the state you are going to requires tags, then you need them to ride legally. You can't ride there without tags. I had that problem too. Tags aren't required here, but the surrounding states they are. I have a friend to got ticketed and the scooter impounded because it that. I finally upgraded to a 150 because I wanted to bring my scooter on vacation with me. Pennsylvania reciprocity statutes http://members.aol.com/statutesp2/75.cp.... Delaware reciprocity statutes http://delcode.delaware.gov/title21/c004... it seem to me you are legal or over legal in your state your not moving there just visiting there |
