Warning for all NY Saabers-License Plate Deadline Posted by andy [Email] (#759) [Profile/Gallery] (more from andy) on Sat, 31 May 2003 15:16:04 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
During 2002, NY Motor Vehicle required all cars to get new plates. It seems that a dispute between NJ and NY over the use of the Statue of Liberty on the NY plate was decided in favor of NJ (our elected officials have nothing better to do?). I got my new registration and due to production problems at DMV the plates were mailed to me later.
Well, I threw them in the trunk a while ago and forgot about them. A local cop stopped me today and said that after June 1, you get a $200 ticket for displaying the old style Statue of Liberty plate. Decent, friendly guy, I dug them out and put them on this afternoon. So I'm passing the warning along to those who, like me, may not be paying attention to the issue.
By the way, the old plates seemed to be rather substantial galvanized steel, now they are very thin aluminum.
