Vehicle Weight on Title vs Gen Dim & Registration ??

[bigred]

In North Carolina if it is registered as a motor home,they don't even list the weight on the registration card.

I pay based on the weight, so I ran it across a scale and registered it for the next higher band.  It costs about $50 a month for the license, but I can get it for the months I want.

Your province will actually allow vehicle registration by the month instead of the year?  I thought every state and province went by the year to save on administrative overhead.

Administrative overhead doesn't seem to be an issue here, I have to get annual inspections on all motorhomes, trailers, and motorcycles, and bi-annual on cars and light trucks.  All annual licenses expire on December 31, creating a month or two of long lineups and cursing.  Bi-annual licenses expire on the month they started.  So I have a bunch of licenses I have to renew in December, a bunch I have to renew on the month they originally got issued, and inspections that I have no idea when I have to have them.  The inspection seems to be pretty good on the first time a mechanic sees a particular vehicle, making sure it actually shows up the second time, and a great opportunity to sell brake jobs.  On the other hand, fewer truly pathetic vehicles on our roads, although there are probably a lot of "here's the $20, here's the sticker" inspections.
