How to register a vehicle?

Question:
I just moved to California. I was told I have 10 days to register our vehicle. The problem is, the car is registered in my wifes name and she's living with somebody else. The current registration expires the end of this month and therefore I won't be able to drive it after that.
She says she doesn't want the car but she won't give me the title so I can get it registered.
What can I do?

I've been a non-driver for 25 years and have to start driving again. What my best approach to start again?

Unfortunately, nothing. You can't register a vehicle that isn't yours. If she won't give you title, it's her car. You might remind her that being in her name she will be responsible for anything that happens to the car. For example, if it happened to be left on the side and road and got towed, she would be responsible for the towing and storage. If she still won't budge on signing it over, sorry, nothing you can do except perhaps park it, and tell her to either come and get it or you will charge storage. Check CA law about obtaining a lien on an 'abandoned' vehicle, or ask a local friendly tow company what the law is there.

I have Third party fire and Theft insurance, am I covered to drive another car not owned by me?

If she wont let you have the title, then she is lying about not wanting the car. Sounds like she is just giving you a hard time. My advice is to buy a new car, then park HER car in the middle of a NO PARKING zone, lock the keys in it, and walk away.

You can't do anything. Drive it to her house and dump it there.

Legally if she is the only person on the title, she is the only legal owner.

When a good deal is not a good deal on your car insurance?

If she won't give you the title, and the title is in her name only, it is her car, and you are driving it. She could even say you stole it if she really wants to be difficult.

If the vehicle title says commercial on it, what does it mean? Any advantages or disadvantages to that?

I would call the California dmv anyway and talk to them. They do things a little bit differently.
