I hear they do this to lower their insurance rates. Many of my acquaintances have florida license plates, but they live and work here. They just have a summer home down there. Is this legal? If not, how can one report these license plates? I also have a friend who has an Arizona license plate. He lives and works here, but has family in Az, and uses that as an excuse, but I dont see it fair that he can evade all our road taxes.
