I am going to borrow a friend's car while living in California. The car is registered in my friend's state, but I'll be driving it in CA. What do I need to do to avoid running afoul of the state's 20-day rule? I don't own the car and do not plan on buying it anytime soon.

The 20-day limit refers to the CA regulation that says once you move to CA you have 20 days to register your car.

IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE PROVISION ON YOUR AUTO INSURANCE POLICY THAT STATES 'IF YOU HAVE THE CAR IN YOUR POSESSION FOR MORE THAN 21 DAYS, ITS NO LONGER CONSIDERED A NON-OWNED CAR' WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS, AFTER YOU HAVE HAD IT FOR 19 DAYS, LET A FRIEND BORROW IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, THEN TAKE IT BACK AND YOU WILL START A NEW 21 DAY CYCLE, DEPENDING ON YOUR INSURANCE CARRIER

If you're most effective borrowing the automobile for an indefinite interval of time, you don't have to sign up it within the state of California. This is ordinarily when you consider that your brother owns the automobile. Just make certain you've got coverage at the automobile and the identify and registration and probably one step extra that you've got permission to have the automobile..simply in case you're ever pulled over by way of the police.

What 20-day rule? It's not your car.
A notarized letter from the owner authorizing you to drive the car would be a good idea if there are any questions as to whether you are authorized driver or not.
