Returning to the US in a Car that is registered Plan Non Opperational? Gonna go out on a limb and assume that one is a major no no jaja
Anyone know what the CBP would say? defrag4 - 4-27-2019 at 03:19 PM
border patrol wont care, but if you get pulled over in the states, thats gonna be a bit of an issue
i drove my non-op truck back to California after being in Latin america for 3 years, I had no issues at the border, I made it back home and got the
truck re-registered ASAP. It was a risk driving it around in non-op
If you are caught you can be hammered with fines, if your really unlucky the car can be impounded until you get registration/insurance on it.
I would definitely put insurance on it though

If a registered non-operational vehicle is driven or parked where it is subject to getting a ticket, then the full registration fees and penalties for
that year of registration become due.
To follow up on the PNO (Planned Non-Operation) question. The DMV will require full fees be paid. But that's the easy part. The police will issue a
citation for operating a vehicle without current registration (4000(a) VC). Additionally, if the vehicle registration has been expired over 6 months,
than under 22651(o) of the Vehicle Code, the vehicle will be impounded (and held hostage) until proof of current registration and a currently valid
driver’s license to operate the vehicle is presented. During this time the tow yard will charge a daily storage fee.defrag4 - 4-27-2019 at 03:22 PM
Its been a while and I cant recall why I didnt take it out of non-op before we came back? Maybe I had to go there in person to handle it?
Give DMV a call and see if you can pay registration and take it out of non-op over the phone?carlosg - 4-27-2019 at 03:47 PM
