Waiving Dealer Plate Citation: Memo Guidelines
know if there is a memo that we can use to help waive a citation on a dealer plate not being on the front?
Understanding Dealer Plate Requirements
If you are a dealer or involved in the automotive industry, it's important to be aware of the requirements regarding dealer plates. This article provides clarity on displaying both front and back dealer plates and offers guidance on what to do if you're unsure about your situation.
Dealer Plate Display Regulations
Currently, there is no memo available that allows for waiving the requirement to display both front and back dealer plates on vehicles. It is crucial for dealers to comply with this regulation to avoid potential issues.
Contacting Occupational Licensing
If you have questions or need further clarification regarding dealer plate regulations, it is recommended that you reach out directly to Occupational Licensing. They can provide authoritative information tailored to your specific circumstances.
Law Enforcement Considerations
It’s essential for dealers and their employees to understand how law enforcement views vehicles with dealer plates. According to the DMV's handbook:
- No Citations for Missing Front Plates: Vehicles displaying valid dealer plates are typically not subject to citation for missing a front license plate.
This understanding can help alleviate concerns when operating such vehicles without a front plate under certain conditions.
Verifying Your Dealer Plates
An additional consideration is ensuring that you have received two license plates as required. If you suspect that only one plate has been issued, take action by contacting Occupational Licensing promptly:
- Request Additional Plates: If necessary, inquire about obtaining an extra plate so that your vehicle complies fully with state regulations.
Your Next Steps
- Email Occupational Licensing: For any clarifications needed regarding dealership requirements.
- Visit DMV Website: To review guidelines related specifically to dealer plates and citations.
- Email or Call Local Law Enforcement: To confirm their stance concerning missing front license plates when using dealership tags.
Please ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations concerning vehicle registration and display of licenses as a responsible dealership operator!
