Flashback.  I'd been thinking about this and finally got around to
asking my friend who lives across the border in SC where they do not
require tags on (at least small) trailers.  I asked him what would
happen if he went to another state that did require a tag.  He said
he could just produce his ID showing he was from SC and that would be
it.  He has about 10 years in law enforcement.

NC recently opened a toll road.  From what I have heard the toll
collection is completely automatic based on cameras shooting your
license plate and sending you a bill in the mail.
