Boat trailer license

[CaptObvious]

Insurance is a requirement for anyone that is operating a motor vehicle on the roads of the commonwealth, wether resident or not. I guarantee you that ALabama has the same requirement. They might not require insurance for their citizens but I bet you they require some proof of some sort of fiscal responsibility. We know that Ky does not require a boat trailer tag or a tag for personal use trailer, KRS 186.675 (2). Other states cannot force you to have something that is not required. If you do get a tag from Ky for your boat to just keep from getting a ticket, not only will you have to pay for the tag every year, you will also pay property tax on said trailer every year. It can ad up. It’s usually a rookie officers mistake.

Actually they can, to go thru their state. Alabama you only had to be bonded I believe, not the same and yes you could be given a ticket.

I stand corrected on the requirements to go thru their states. I used a too broad brush on that one. Motorcycle license, helmets would be a good example. If Indiana wanted you to have 4 brake lights or some sort equipment to be able to drive on their roadways, I can see that or if it was in a commercial operation, which is another big can of worms. If it gets too silly on some things, then reciprocity battles usually start between the states.
