I don't get how the state can handle this issue. What happens if someone buys one in Maryland and drives it into PA - is the vehicle automatically illegal to be on PA roads?

There are some things that simply must be handled at the federal level, be handled ONCE and the states need to recognize what the feds have decided. Quite simply having each 50 states do the work 50 times is quite ridiculous and we're all paying for it.

Legally, yes. States have the sovereignty to pass their own highway laws and determine what is safe to drive on our roads, regardless of federal regulations.

California is a great example. Cars sold in California must meet their own emissions standards, which are the toughest in the country, and not all cars sold in the U.S. necessarily meet the CA standard.

Als, if someone rides a motorcycle from a state with no helmet law to a state with one, they had better have a helmet with them.

Mistake number one. If it isn't in writing, it holds no legal weight whatsoever. He should have gotten something in print.

Mistake number two. He didn't get a lawyer.

Has he tried taking politicians on a golf trip or giving them a free week at his vacation home? Box seats at a Phillies game? Sending a girl over when he knows one of the bureacrats is traveling alone. There's got to be a way to resolve this impasse.
