New Jersey Blows

On a typical day driving around or through NJ, I lose count of how many cars with Florida or North Carolina registrations. What’s the deal?

Are these people defrauding the state by registering their vehicle in FL or NC to avoid paying higher registration fees or higher insurance premiums? According to most if not all insurance companies, if you’re garaging your vehicle at a different location and they’re not informed, that may be fraud. No, going to FL once a year to get your car inspected doesn’t count as being permanently garaged.

If you live in NJ and spend most of your time in NJ, register your car in NJ.
