And many do, judging by the quality of work-hour traffic.

Well...I'm not sure either. I know FRONTERA plates can't go into the mainland past a certain point like Guaymas, or something like that.

Where's HOOK. He knows.


I'm on the road in the US. Off the grid, for the most part.

Been to San Anton, Austin, Vicksburg, Memphis, Nashville, Clarksdale Miss, St Louis, Chicago. Baseball and Blues Tour, you might say, with a little twang thrown in. Oh yeah, and Steely Dan, too. Great band but Fagan's voice is gone.

This frontera plate question, I dont know.

Thought you might know where the line is drawn down by your place.

Have a good trip.

I know where the line is drawn for actual foreign plated vehicles. It's just south of Empalme, Sonora. I just dont know if this affects frontera plated vehicles.

BTW, they are now making most ANY RV, or even trailers pulling quads, to get a TIP, regardless of their length of stay. Just too many vehicles being sold illegally down here.

For Canada, higher liability limits are needed which most policies don't have, but it's possible to get a top-up policy. I'm currently in BC (Canada) with my BC (Mexico) car, with an add-on policy that provides the yellow non-resident insurance card needed for Canada.

My GIECO policy automatically sends me the Canadian Non-Resident card every year, even though we may not go to Canada, since my wife is driving with a canadian DL

Is that a US-issued policy? Most of the policies issued in Mexico only have US$100k combined single limit liability coverage when outside Mexico (some much less), which isn't enough for the C$200k legal minimum in Canada, so they can't issue the card with the policy.

I guess most US-issued policies would already have much higher liability coverage, so can issue the Canada card if there is a need for it, without extra payment.
