Recently a dealer loaned a van to a customer for evaluation and to confirm it was fit for purpose for their business,” the VIA email says.
“The customer was stopped by a police officer who asked them why they were using a dealer’s trade plate, the customer responded that they were going to the pharmacy to pick up medication.
“The officer then, correctly, told them they would get a ticket for $150 plus 20 demerit points for operating an unregistered vehicle.
