Re: Question of license requirements across states

From Wikipedia: "Georgia, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Tennessee are not members.[2] American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators:[3] Nevada repealed the authorizing legislation in 2007,[4] although it still generally conforms to the agreement through regulations.[2] Actually, this applies to the reporting of violations, but it is reasonable to think that it also applies to licensing reciprocity. While a state may not be a signatory of the Reciprocity Agreements, it is doubtful that any such state would refuse to recognize a license from another state. Wow! Awesome information. Thanks. Never dreamt this thread would take off like it did... But being new to the community, I have learned so much from all of you already. Thank you. :) Rj657Views0likes0CommentsRe: Question of license requirements across states

Also marriage licenses...can you imagine having to get married again every time you cross a state line on your cross-country trip? This has gone off topic... But this is wrong. It is not a constitutional right. In fact, TECHNICALLY you are not married in each state you move to. However, each state recognizes it as well as the IRS. I can go on, but it would really take this into a tangent that has noting to do with RVs. :) Rj Actually. It is in the constitution. 10th amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."657Views0likes0CommentsRe: Question of license requirements across states
So it sounds like what you both are saying is if my personal license matches my RV's registration, and heaving forbid I get pulled over in a state that has different requirements such as a CDL... Then I should be good because I am legal per my home state's requirements. Thank you! Rj195Views0likes0CommentsQuestion of license requirements across states
Hey guys... Forgive if this is a common question, but I didn't see it. So my state only requires a standard license. My question is... If I drive across country will I need to meet licensing requirements of each state or Candian Providence I went through? Or will it be considered... I meet the requirements of my issued state so that's good enough even if I'm in a CDL state/Providence? Thanks guys! Rj4.9KViews0likes22Comments
