Dealer Plates And Insurance
So I got a ticket from an officer last week for operate motor vehicle without insurance. I was driving a car from our lot (a used car dealership company), my boss said that the car is insured under the fleet policy and that I am fine. The problem was that our dealer plate was not on the car at the time (it was left back at the shop), so when I got pulled over the cop tells me that because there was no dealer plate on the car, that it is not covered under the policy while I am driving it on the road. So I got a ticket for no operating the car with no insurance under the compulsory automobile insurance act section 2 (1) (1) and also drive motor vehicle fail to display two plates HTA 7 (1) (b) (i). Does this make sense, does the car have to have the dealer plate actually on it, when you are driving to be insured under the fleet policy????
