Reply to comment by Fevaprold in Do I have to turn in my license plate after selling my car? by -jacksmack-

Why spend the money on a new plate when you can just transfer the existing one?

I mean, as a motorcycle rider I appreciate it because those fees fund the motorcycle safety courses, which allows PA residents to take them for free. But I don't see the point in spending money on something and then giving that something back.

Pure incompetence on my part, that's why! After that I wised up and kept the old plate when I changed cars.

But that's not what this thread is about. It's about someone with a plate but no car to put it on.

Understood. I paid for them so when that circumstance arises I don't return them. Like someone else here mentioned, it's trypically not enforced. If they were going to enforce it they would just send a letter saying that you needed to return the tag so then you return the tag.
