So I go to Latvia during the summers with my dad, and I’m only 14, but turning 15 soon in 2 weeks. I have a 2002 Honda civic in a dark red color with the well known d16 1.6 vtec motor. I fucking love that car but it’s not road legal wanna know why? Because it used to be registered to a now deceased person who sadly committed suicide while their car was under their ownership. Because of that, the next person who wants to register it to their name has to pay off the old owners debt, who killed himself. So I’m trying to get help on how to bypass this law in Latvia to get the car driving on the road? At one point I will get a driving license and I will want to drive in Latvia, but seeing the car rot because of a stupid law is non sense. Please help on how I can clear the car of the debts so my dad can register it to his name or my name when I turn 17, so I can drive the car and not cry about it 🙂

  2. Get another legal one and swap the engine in, you have a great donor to either mķe one great car from two or keep another car in great shape for years to come. You could also get a different frame with all papers in check and weld a different VIN to this one.

  5. It’s not exactly clear what you’re looking for.

    Registration issues? Go to a notary, figure out what needs to be done to get the car properly registered to someone who’s 18 or older.

    Bypass the law? Unlikely you’re going to be able to do that. If the car has been registered as “currently on the road” (uzskaitē), according to e.csdd.lv the yearly tax for a civic like that is 90 EUR, so you’re probably looking at ~180EUR or so, which are going to continue accumulating until you register it as “not on the road” (noņemts no uzskaites). Don’t forget about the yearly inspections as well.

    BTW the only way you’re gonna be driving it in Latvia at 17 is with a learner’s permit, M stickers on the windows, and someone with 2+ years experience in the passenger seat.

    Sidenote: If you’re so broke that you want to keep a beat up civic around for 3+ years on the off chance you get to drive it one day, it might be a better financial decision to clear up the CSDD issues, sell it off to someone and buy another car when you’re ready to actually drive it. Cars tend to break from just sitting around. Mold, dry rot, rubber hoses, liquids, fuel, that’s all going to get bad if you don’t maintain it.
