solved the paint problem, sold the car

I think you will find she has taken a few liberties with the interpertation that could land you in hot water..the specialty tag is that of state application and revue and issue if deemed "decent" and original and not issued to another motorist..the YOM tag is by definition one that is of the year the car was made and must be in original legible condition and presented to the DMV official for approval and cross referenced to your standard tag you make application for...ie the one in the trunk and you best have the letter of assignment to run the YOM in the trunk also....I have a number of yom tags and it is easy to go online and print the rules for the registration thereof...do not get yourself in hot water over some lax DMV rep..GA also has blue dots as legal..some state like to pull you and trty to cite you for running them illegally in their state..it is pure bunk..GA law is as stands and it is for the vehicle registered in the state and if operated out of state much stand good on the law books....if registered in a state without blue dot law and you get caught be it on your own head..it is also advisable to carry a copy of the Ga blue dot law in your vehicle if you should have to speak to an officer on the subject..

Logic and the blue dot law.

If, as you said, it is legal to run blue dots in GA and that makes it legal to run blue dots in all states, then why (if you live in Kentucky where it is legal to operate a motorcycle sans helmet) cannot one ride helmetless in all states?

Where is the logic?

Tennessee has the same rules for YOM plates as GA. I must use a normal (as in not an antique vehicle) tag carried in the trunk and also carry the pictured letter in the vehicle in order to run the YOM tags.

thanks for clearing that up for me, i thought it sounded strange when she told me, but sounds more sensible now, i guess i'll have to look for some 51 ga plates in good shape

helmet law is a good point in resiprosity...it has always had special exception..

D.C's 48 Tenn YOM tag has the exact five digits in the exact numerical order as the first five numbers of my military ID tag !!! Now that's weird !!! ... Sure wish I'd run across a Mo tag like that ?? Cass, alias littlemo...

In MN my YOM plate is my only plate. I am not required to carry any additional registration or a letter stating why I have my plates. We also have the odd rule that anything eligible for collector or YOM plates doesn't have to run a front plate.

[Plymouthy Adams]

Ed, you are lucky..some state that require front tags also require matching Yom tags, we in Georgia have been a one tag state for years but there was time it was a requirement to have front and rear ..our YOM is like yours, only one is required even for the years where the original was two tags..I got lucky and found a set of GA 41 tags matching..two tag year....these tags are huge in size compared with today's tag and they are the first set of reflective tags issued inthe US..
