in-transit plates are something that given more to people who are out of state drivers. they can be used in-state>>>>> BUT THE CAR STILL NEEDS proof of insurance, and a vaild NYS inspection which has a matching date to the date issued of the temp tag.
we send these things out all the time for out of state deals so we can register and title a car for a customer, but still allow them to drive it around.
in-transit plates are still hard to get without really having a dealer issue them with the correct documentation.
Proof of inspection is only needed for an ITP if its a junk/salvage vehicle.
I drove from New Orleans to Virginia on plates for a different car, no issues as long as you don’t drive like a d-bag and/or don’t get in an accident.
I think I may have solved the dealer plate issue… I stamped my own.
