      For a long time Vermont allowed people living out-of-state to register their vehicles in Vermont and get a VT license plate. They do require inspections but if you were out of state and never actually went to Vermont, the inspection requirement was irrelevant. This was often used by the skoolie (school bus converted to motorhome) community to get a bus registered and legal before it was converted to a motorhome (at which point you can register it normally in most states). And it was used generally by people with shitty old cars that couldn’t pass an inspection and didn’t have a valid title. However, they closed this loophole three years ago and now you can’t newly register an out-of-state vehicle there any more.

        basically cops can stop you, find something wrong, and ticket you. Biking isn’t a right. Grays can also have their own auth rules.

          I dream of getting a speeding ticket on my bicycle some day. I would frame that thing so fucking hard. It’s not often that I can actually legitimately get up to a speed above the limit, but it does happen once in a while.
