I was saying the same thing to someone. The white plates are much easier to read from a distance then the new yellow ones. ---

so i’m wondering, if when they force me to get new plates, i’m just gonna keep my front plate (which has never been on a car ever) and use that instead of the new ugly ones…can i get in trouble since it will still be registered and a valid plate number ---

There must be a way to use old plates because alot of old cars have the plates from when the cars were new and theyre considered valid plates. ---

Can you transfer custom plates from car to car? If you can, I’ll just transfer mine to my next car whenever that time comes instead of having to ‘re-sign up’ and get a yellow one. ---

I dont see why you couldnt transfer custom plates. I transferred the registration and plates from my last car to my truck so I dont see why you couldnt do the same. Eventually though everybody is going to get the new plates like we did the last time. ---

If you can, I’ll just transfer mine to my next car whenever that time comes instead of having to ‘re-sign up’ and get a yellow one. yes you can. i have done it multiple times, but that doesn’t mean they can’t tell u to turn in your old ones and they will give u new yellow ones with the same plate number. ---

You’ll probably get pulled all the time just to make sure that the registration is upto date, because having the old plate will make it seem like you haven’t registered after a certain date. Legality of it however, I’m not sure on. Doesn’t sound like a bad plan, _I can’t stand_ the new plate look. ---
