    Nothing to get caught on, his dues are paid until they expire...but of course those dues are for the use of Canadian roads, not down here. If he does get pulled over then dispatch will run the plate and license and as long as neither comes up with warrants or being expired then there is no issues at all. He'll probably be asked what he is doing down here and all he needs to say is he's down here visiting or on business, not a big deal. It's no differant than if he had two houses and was at the other one.

    The cost for registering isn't going to be any differant if he does it now or 6 months from now, he'll go to the DMV and get a Georgia license then to the tag office to get a plate. It's not like it's a new car with a new title & bill of sale, it does have existing registration that is up to date...and there is nothing in writing say when he moved. May have to show a utility payment for proof of address or something but that could be a year old or whatever as long as it has his name on it and the address he wants on it.

    I have no issues with someone driving on our roads as long as everything is up to date. It's not like he's saving money in the long run anyways, just saving it upfront unless he has two birthdays between now and whenever he does register the car in Georgia.
