In Louisiana, kei trucks, which are small vehicles, can be driven on regular roads but not on highways specifically designed for fast traffic, like interstate highways.

According to state law (RS 32:299.2), here are some important points about driving mini-trucks in Louisiana:

• A. You can drive a mini-truck on roads where the speed limit is 55 miles per hour or lower, but you can't take them onto highways that are meant for fast-moving vehicles.
• B. If you do drive a mini-truck, it needs to have working lights (both front and back), turn signals, brake lights, an outside mirror on the driver's side, and either a mirror on the passenger's side or one inside. It also needs a parking brake, a windshield wiper, a speedometer, an odometer, brakes for each wheel, seat belts for every seat, and a vehicle identification number.
• C. Mini-trucks must be registered as off-road vehicles and display a special decal from the motor vehicle office. If the truck's title is in another language, you might have to present a certified translation at your own expense.
• D. Only licensed drivers are allowed to operate mini-trucks on Louisiana roads.
• E. Mini-trucks need to have liability insurance that meets the same minimum requirements as regular vehicles.
• F. A mini-truck is defined as a four-wheeled vehicle that is smaller than typical trucks, has a maximum speed of 65 miles per hour, and comes with a truck bed for carrying items along with a closed area for passengers.
• G. The Department of Public Safety will create rules to help enforce these regulations.
• H. Importantly, state departments and local governments can restrict mini-truck use on certain roads if they think it is necessary for everyone's safety.

These rules were established to ensure that mini-trucks can be safely used on Louisiana roads.
