anyone else's DMV pulling this with kei trucks? got a letter saying mine's getting reclassified as a "low-speed vehicle," capped at 25mph regardless of the fact it does 65 on the highway, just because it's under 660cc/47hp. already registered, passed inspection, and insured as a full vehicle for 2 years and now this. lady at the counter couldn't explain the reasoning past "insurance lobby pushed for it."
is this coordinated across states or is my DMV just special. if they're gonna cap it at LSV speeds anyway why not just let me swap on mini truck tires and suspension since that's apparently the class they want to shove it into

>25mph
That's very generous.
In Poland low-speed vehicles are capped at 25km/h.

Your DMV is special.

Depends on what shithole you happen to be from
A bunch of states have randomly decided to ban kei cars or japanese imports altogether. A few of them lifted the bans after lobbying from enthusiast groups, so what you're facing may not be a permanent problem

It really depends if cops want to give a shit and decide to actually enforce it or not.t. Jaywalker

If you are capped at 25, then slap a smv triangle on it and stop insuring it, registering it, and plating it and just drive the fucker...

In my state, if it's over 20 years old then there are no rules. If you could afford it, they'd let you register the fucking space shuttle.

You gotta outjew the jew. Title it in Michigan as a rebodied vehicle and then transfer it to your current state, or don't.There's definitely also some tax loophole in Indiana as all the work trucks around here on the East Coast have Indiana plates so maybe look into that. Although I'm unfamiliar with what exactly is going on.

lol it's certainly not insurance lobbying for these things to go away, they'll only ever be able to do liability insurance like any other older vehicle and not comprehensive it's most certainly stealerships
