Hi, with my student visa in AZ, i'm importing my car temporarily from England.
Customs allows me to import the car for 12 months, without it meeting safety or emissions standards and without it having any US plates on - can remain on the original British plates. They also allow me to use my UK driving licence for 12 months without having to take any US test.
This was all confirmed with AZ + CA DMV.
From what I've read on here, police don't seem to agree / know much about these international agreements. What is the likelihood of me being stopped? And even though its legal, the officer believing that i'm breaking the law and wants to issue me with a citation / impound the car etc.
Thanks!
