news:d9e1dfcf.0306251735.1e353ad2@posting.google.c om... I recently bought a new car and will soon be taking it on a trip out of state. Unfortunately, where I live (California) new cars don't include license plates. Instead you get a little scrap of paper and the plates arrive several months later in the mail. Will this be a problem for me in other, non-California, states? Am I going to get stopped for not having licence plates? Would it help if I brought/used the plates from my other car? (which will be parked at home)
Display your temporary tag properly on the rear of your vehicle and you
shouldn't have a problem as long as it doesn't expire during the trip. Do
not use your plates from your old car, because that's in violation. They're
not transferable from car to car and you will get stopped if a cop runs the
plates and they come back to a different car. They may even think the car
you're in is stolen.

My own experience showed it works in most western and Rocky Mountain
states, but I was almost arrested in Idaho. The sherriff said that
temporary tags from California are not legal in Idaho. And this was
a rental car and Alamo had promised that the car would be legal in
all RM and western states.

They are in Wisconsin, pal! All we have to do is mail off the
application for title to register them to the new car. Perfectly
legal here and I do it all the time. Of course, the *smart* motorist
will retain the 'Applicant's Copy' until the title/registration
arrives ...

You can think what you want. BTW, you apparently weren't watching
when I absconded from your fair state with that Jag X-Type.

Was I talking to *you*? No. Was I talking to the *OP*? No. Was I
talking to *jaybird* about his assertion that old plates are not
transferable? Yeah. *Now* who's the moron?
