Oklahoma's Vehicle Rodeo: How Many Horses Can a Disabled Veteran Wrangler?
So, you're a badass disabled veteran living the dream in Oklahoma (good choice, by the way, because Oklahoma is basically sunshine and friendly folks with a twang). You earned yourself some wheels – maybe a trusty truck for conquering off-road adventures, a sleek sedan for cruising down Route 66 in style, or perhaps a motorcycle for feeling the wind in your hair (or what's left of it after all those years in service). But hold on there, buckaroo, before you turn your garage into a personal showroom, there's a question that needs answering: how many vehicles can a disabled veteran register in Oklahoma?
How Many Vehicles Can A Disabled Veteran Register In Oklahoma |
Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's Not a Free-for-All (But It's Pretty Sweet)
Now, unlike that time you sweet-talked your way into an extra helping of pie at the VFW potluck, there is a limit. But fear not, it ain't exactly restrictive. Here's the deal:
For veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 50% or higher: You, my friend, get a reduced registration rate on two (that's right, two!) vehicles with a rated carrying capacity of one ton or less (don't worry, that covers most cars and trucks). That's like getting a permanent discount on car registration – pretty darn patriotic of Oklahoma, wouldn't you say?
For veterans who don't want the special treatment (or maybe just have a monster truck): You can still register your regular ol' license plate for two vehicles with that same one-ton limit. The choice is yours, champ!
Important Note: Be sure you have that disability rating documentation handy when you head down to the Department of Public Safety (they might ask to see it).
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
So, Can I Register My Entire Car Collection?
Maybe next time, buddy. But two vehicles is a pretty good deal, especially with the reduced registration fee for disabled veterans. Besides, think of all the gas money you'll save by consolidating your fleet. You can use those savings on... well, whatever veterans like to spend their money on (probably not pie, you already figured out that trick).
