mopeds

im thinking about using a moped on a hitch on the back of the bus. in south carolina theres no registration required for mopeds. does this south carolina moped tag allow me to drive in states where mopeds are required to be registered
  • Mopeds...fun to ride until your friends see you. Not unlike _____ something else.
  • As of November, SC will require mopeds to be registered.

  • Your signature line shows Ct, and you are asking about a SC tag.
    States generally accept the rules from other states on registrations, but a LEO will usually ask for your drivers license. If it is from one state, and the tag on the moped is from another, that line gets clouded.
    If all your documentation is from the same source you will generally be ok. Exceptions to that will be on items considered safety issues, for example double towing in Ct will likely get you pulled no matter where the tag was issued.
