Dealer Plates


The most frequent question i get asked is about Dealer Plates. Everyone wants to know if when they sign-up to become a wholesaler if they automatically get a dealer plate. The answer to that is no in most cases. Dealer plates should only be issued to people with clean driving records and current valid insurance. Being an automobile dealer has nothing to do with owning a dealer plate. I discovered that some people just want to join the program to get access to a dealer plate only in order they save taxes on luxury cars they may want to drive or for whatever reason. At worst what would happen if someone were stopped and were a car dealer without a dealer plate? If they got an officer that just was having a bad day and wanted to issue a ticket the ticket would be for no tag displayed. The judge would dismiss this in court if he came to that. However any plate can be used on a vehicle to avoid being stopped it doesn't necessarily have to be a dealer plate.
You can even use these cheap tags or a sticker or even a sign in the rear window that announces you're a dealer transporting the vehicle. And in most cases you won't even be stopped. I found out that most people just want a dealer plate put on the same car they're driving over and over just for the prestige of having a dealer plate.
