> A car you built yourself (or more often a motorcycle) actually _can_ be driven on roads in the US

Such a car cannot be driven on the road within The Netherlands without it being validated as safe (plus some other inspections).

For US, same seems to apply. Per https://www.dmv.org/car-registration.php it mentions: "Pass a vehicle safety inspection.". So again you need to deal with paperwork and read what those safety regulations are.

Some rules are decided by state. For example, Idaho has no vehicle inspection process, just registration (i.e., paying a fee and getting a license plate and license plate sticker).

FWIW, dmv.org is not an official government site.

Dmv.org is not associated with any government body. Its advice should be taken with a grain of salt as such matters are not uniform across the US. Moreover their state specific info is often a paraphrased summary that only represents best practices and not the full scope of the applicable law.

Yeah, for "specially constructed vehicles" that safety inspection is extremely minimal. For a production vehicle, the requirements are much more extreme, and cost millions to comply with.
