I had not previously considered historical plates but my insurance company offered me a substantial savings if I have historical license plates.
However this means only shows & parades. How closely is this monitored? Thanks David |

I've got 4 vehicles registered with "Collector Vehicle" or restored "Year Of Manufacture" plates here in WA state.
I have an absolute douche-bag State patrolman who has pulled me over 3 times for various B.S. reasons. All of which went to court and were dropped due to him not reading the laws. I had the opportunity to test this particular law last year when I was pulled over and cited for a "collector plate violation" which was also dropped in court. The law here in WA state is so vague in how it is written, that lawmakers have given you a loop-hole large enough to drive your car through. With no mileage restrictions and language like 'pleasure drive" (which the state has not defined what constitutes a "pleasure drive"), there is no way for a ticket to stick in court. Since I drive mine to and from my shop a lot, "taking it to my mechanic" is not a stretch in the least. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Going to hang out with friends from my car club is also allowed as is any number of other activities that are not expressly pointed out in the law according to the judge. Here in WA state, you get your collector plates and that's it for as long as you own the car and that's just fine with me. IMHO the state steals & wastes enough of my money. |
