it probably is just a story

Well, I guess you would have to know the guy to believe it wasn't just a story. He isn't a story teller.
Also, it was a long time ago.

they cost about $30 for 5 years and no test

In Baja California (Norte) it's not quite that simple, nearer to $50 and there is a written test (only in Spanish) and even a token road test. Having
said that, it only took me 24 hours to get one:

I never wanted one, but a lot of friends did...and do. I heard from some of those folks that they also had to get a blood test to establish type. I
always figured it was just some more nonsense to make a peso.
This was in Ensenada. Anybody else come across this?

In San Felipe they do ask your blood type (during the Red Cross medical), but if you don't know it, they will just leave it blank (it shows "not
specified" on the licence).
It's really just for your own good after an accident, not an enforced requirement here, but other towns are probably different.
Like the "next of kin" on the back of the licence, it does have a purpose and makes sense. (I really should find out what my bood group is).

Perhaps I can some it this way. You do what you want and register wherever you see fit. Its possible to own or rent in another state or at least say
you do. No one is going to check and it is complety possible to maintain separate homes with separate vehicles. The police are not going to send
investigators to SD to see if you really reside there.

You cannot register a vehicle in south dakota without a south dakota address. A friend sent in all her information and it was sent back to her
because she did not have an south dakota address.
I dont know about the grandfathering but I hope someone will tell us. |
This may be a county to county difference, Judy. I registered my truck in Clay County and didn't need an SD address. |
I dont have a SD address either. The law changed this year. Our registration does not come up until Nov which is why I was wondering about the
grandfathering. Our registration is Clay County, too.
