Yes, trailers under a certain weight may not require a standard plate, but double-check the limits with the DMV to be safe.

Honestly, all these laws can be so confusing. Why can’t they make it simpler for us? It feels like a maze!
Right? It’s like they want to keep us on our toes! A little humor in the regs might help.
What if I “borrow” a friend’s trailer? Do I still need to worry about the plates?
This is tricky. Generally, the trailer should have a plate, but you may be able to use a temporary tag if you have permission from the owner.
