Can I drive a salvage vehicle home?
No, it is not legally permissible to drive a salvage vehicle on public roads until it has undergone the necessary “reconstruction” process. Generally, the vehicle must be towed to your preferred location. Following that, the vehicle needs to undergo a “reconstruction” process according to the guidelines set by your state. Only after the completion of this process can you register and insure the vehicle for road use.
