If they’re older than 25 years old, they can be driven on the highway in the USA because they’re exempt from EPA and crash safety standards. That said, I’ve driven one 10k miles mostly highway and I would not recommend it. The car tops out at 120kmh at the redline and is very light and top heavy, so it can almost be blown over in the window.

- profile53 5y agoThere are two sets of regulations IIRC. If it’s older than 25 years on import, you can bypass FMVSS/EPA/DOT regulations, so they are always perfectly legal to drive on the federal highway system (incl. at 70-80mph). Some states will refuse to register them though, such as Minnesota or Oregon. Separately, some states have an import process for cars newer than 25 years old which allows them to be licensed as UTVs/ATVs, so they can go on local roads but are usually speed limited. And iirc, they can’t drive on federal highways.
