After 90 days of residency you are supposed to change your plate over.

I have a coworker who moved here 5 years ago and still has his old state plates. I'm sure you're supposed to change them, but I don't think it's heavily pushed.

I didn't for 2 years. Didn't wanna deal with inspection I keep my second car in my dad's name in Michigan and I 'lease' it from him

That's a clever way around it. What made you change the plate?

Fear of getting caught/trying to be a responsible adult. I wasn't using PA insurance as well so I was kinda riding dirty. Figured it was time to be legal. Then my check engine light came on and I questioned my decision.

Those laws are very difficult to enforce. They have a problem with it in Philly. People say they're visiting from Florida/North Carolina when they really live in the city and just have a family member that lives down there who's address the car is registered to.

Yeah that's basically what I do I just drive the limits and correctly as possible when driving that car
