Can i use my friends adress in a diffrent county to bypass emissions in my own county?
I recently bought a project car, that i can turn
into a racecar/weekend car for fun. I mostly
plan on using it at bandimere speedway. I took
my car for emissions and with a suprise it
failed. Its missing somthing called a air pump,
its purely for emissons only. I really dont want
to spend all that money to put one on, cause
the bill can run up into 700-1000. My friend
who Lives in a county that dose not requiere
emissions said i can use his adress to register
my car there so i dont have to worry about
emissions. Is there any legal issues here? Or
will this not work. I really wanna save money
and beable to drive my car again. So i can
focus on stuff to actully make the car faster.
Any other options i have too?

You will be committing fraud and--besides any fines that could be imposed by the government if this comes to light--you could invalidate your insurance coverage. If you register your car at your friend's address, you have to use that address for insurance purposes. But if you lie about where a car is actually located or based when you apply for insurance, you will invalidate the coverage. (And if you ever have an insurance claim, or someone sues you for an accident or injury, with all the paperwork and investigation, your actual address will come out.) Therefore, you could deny yourself the protection of insurance.
