For several reasons I prefer to drive a vehicle licensed in the state in which I keep it. For almost 30 years I have kept residences and cars in two different states. I am domiciled in and a resident one of the two states and retain a driver's license issued in that state. I have had no problem in the other state buying, licensing and insuring - an issue to be resolved - a car there. IMHO if one keeps and drives a car primarily within a certain state it should be both licensed and insured there.

This type of situation has to be prevalent in Florida where many people keep winter homes.
