| Several people on my street (VA) have vehicles with expired paper/temp plates. This trend has got to be some kind of fraud. These can't be legal, right? Is there any reason why someone would have temp plates for over a year?? |

| As long as they are driving it, what's the issue? |

| If you're not paying registration fees/taxes, that's theft from those of us that are legitimate. |

| This is usually because there is a hang up with the dealer getting them the permanent plates. Almost always smaller independent dealers. The bigger ones sometimes have plates on site so it's a non issue. If it gets to the expiration point the dealer should issue a new set. This doesn't always happen. Some dealerships suck. Why would someone drive around with expired tags on purpose? It's a ridiculous amount of trouble in tickets and getting pulled over. Even parked you get ticketed for this. |

| It's illegal. You must call the police. |

| I'm so sick of seeing this and seeing people with expired inspection stickers too. It's a free for all totally lawless in VA now. |
