In this season of vacations and boating, you may not pull your boats and RV’s with a vehicle using a dealer tag. § 46.2-1550 states in part; “It shall be unlawful for any dealer to cause or permit dealer's license plates to be used on: 2. Vehicles used to deliver or transport (i) other vehicles; (ii) portions of vehicles; (iii) vehicle components, parts, or accessories; or (iv) fuel;…”
Having insurance on your dealer plates is not only to protect you, but to protect other motorist on the road in case of an unfortunate accident. Proof of liability insurance must be submitted with new applications and renewals.
MVDB main office staff will not issue dealer tags without verifying sufficient insurance coverage.
- MVDB Field Representatives conduct dealership inspections, and part of those inspections is to determine if your dealership has insurance coverage on each and every Dealer license plate you posses.
- Every dealer plate you possess is required by law to have liability insurance coverage.
Avoid Penalties and Unsatisfactory Inspections… Get Insurance on your Plates!
