If you do this (and it's very simple and quick), the registration folks will require proof of Florida insurance AND they do go out to your car and check your vehicle's VIN Number and milage.... NOTE: Florida has NO vehicle inspections whatsoever.
If you are a NYS resident your auto has to be inspected each year. If you do not then your insurance is canceled. Also, there may be an issue with storing and insuring an auto out of state.
