We’re appointment only as well, so I don’t think they’re enforcing the 30 day rule. Your points are all quite valid - it’s a matter of blending in and not drawing attention to your car. I’ve done the “use a current plate” thing tons of times over 30 years and never had an issue. The only time

Florida allows plate transfers, so unless an LEO had some kind of “sixth sense” that allowed them to know what was going on with the car you removed the plate from they would have no way to determine your claim to transfer wasn’t legit. Rick, did you contact my shipping guy, Mike? I ask because

Just an FYI MA does not sell temporary plates and, at least in theory, does not recognize temporary plates form other states. I'm reasonably sure the police ignore temp plates on cars unless they have some other reason to nab you. -Curt On Saturday, February 27, 2021, 7:49:12 PM EST,
