Non-Resident Vehicle Requirements
My question involves vehicle maintenance laws for the State of: CA
My 4x4 is perfectly legal and registered in Nevada. Once per year i travel to CA to drive the infamous Rubicon Jeep Trail. The Forest Service LE officers actively patrol the entrance road looking for equipment violations. Tnis is a windy, slow speed paved road, not the freeway. CA has a restriction on how far a tire may extend beyond the fender flare but Nevada does not. Repots are surfacing that the out-of-state drivers are getting hit (targeted?) with equipment violation citations, maybe LE hoping they are not challenged. I have searched the CVC for any possible exemptions for out of state registered vehicles. Long a go, the CVC was not applicable to out of state vehicles under the commerce clause (in that case tinted windows) but i understand that was reversed. Is there any hope not to get ticked in CA for that which just across the state line is perfectly legal? If a fix it ticket for wide tires, why not just swap on some skinny roller tires for the sign-off, then retreat to the safety of Nevada and bolt back on the regular 35" tires, which BTW are DOT legal? This issue is different than mud flap cases...
ideas?
