registering a car in MA

[allli.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have an opinion or information on how illegal or bogus registering a car in the state you just moved FROM is, even though you now live in Mass?

Complications include transferring my insurance (Geico isn't in Mass) and converting my out-of-state driver's license (it's $110). Can I just pretend I'm still from NH, keep my plates and so forth? Or will someone notice since I'm now registered to vote in Mass?

From the RMV Web site:

You must register your vehicle in Massachusetts as soon as you become a Massachusetts resident. The law does not provide a grace period.
