Rhode Island is making it illegal to register a kei car, and it's asking enthusiasts who already have one to turn in their registration.
There are about 30 kei cars registered in Rhode Island, according to DMV records, and lawmakers want to take them all off the road. State officials have started asking kei car owners to turn in their registration, which would make the vehicles illegal to drive on a public road.
Rhode Island policymakers first floated the idea of banning kei cars in 2021, and they launched a second offensive earlier in 2024. DMV administrator Walter Craddock argued that kei cars should be banned from driving on the Ocean State's roads because they"were never manufactured in compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
While a lot of the talk surrounding the ban has focused on trucks, such as the Honda Acty , lawmakers are targeting any kind of kei vehicle. If you want to register, say, a Suzuki Cappuccino or an Autozam AZ-1 in Rhode Island, you'll soon be out of luck. There might be a dim, flickering light at the end of the tunnel, however.
Although the registration would remain valid, it wouldn't be transferable — driving a kei car would be legal; selling one in-state wouldn't. And, owners wouldn't be allowed to take a kei car on"limited-access highways, state highways, or through highways ... or on any public highway or roadway with a speed limit of more than ." For context, you can go faster than 35 mph on a 125cc Honda SuperCub moped.Enthusiasts in other states are facing a similarly steep uphill battle.
