Kinda, sorta, but not always. In the motorcycling world, I see reciprocity usually applied to vehicle equipment or modifications, but never to practices.
For example, I ride a motorcycle and ALWAYS wear a helmet, even though Colorado doesn't require them. That said, riding without a helmet is legal in Colorado but if I cross the border into Nebraska, helmets are required of all riders - despite the fact they're not required in my home state. Another practices example, lane splitting/sharing is allowed for motorcycles in California, but a CA rider would be ticketed for doing that here in CO.
Window tinting, mentioned in another post, would be an example of equipment modifications allowed in one state (darkness of tint) that might not be allowed in another, resulting in a contact/warning but not a ticket.
So, until the Elio/helmet question is resolved in ALL states, I'd treat it as a practices issue and not an equipment issue and not rely on reciprocity. I do have confidence, however, that the EM team is on it and will have it resolved before production!
Well said. And welcome to the family!
