....... but almost everyone thinks towing a trailer over 10k with a non class A license is legal - just because it is legal in their home state. Both are illegal by federal law, and some state laws. In California it is driving out of class.
Incorrect driver's license info..:(
1. Federal law does *not* apply to non-commercial.
2. Reciprocity. If you are legally licensed in your home state, you are legal in the other 49. (That does not apply to overall length.)
You are *not* "driving out of class in CA"!..:(
Example: South Dakota Driver's License.
No special license required for private RVs inc'l towing trailers.
Was in CA often when I was licensed in SD (inc'l stopped by CHP).
No problem with the out-of-state (SD) DL.
(CA *residents* req'd to have a Non-Commercial Class A DL for same).
I always carried a copy of the SD Drivers License regs with me - for any un-informed LEOs (but, never needed to show them).
