This is just like those transit fare dodger. But this is dodging the car insurance.

Some of those fare dodgers probably own a car, but feel like no need to buy bus tickets.

While whether the person took the car to the condo parking lot, is the owner of the dealership or the employee, you have a job or you own a business, making more than for some of them making min wage, yet still pay car insurance.

Here is a great read on regulation of using demo plates

http://www.drivesmartbc.ca/vehicle-l...license-plates

"under sale consignment to the dealer intended for use by a customer."

"Use of a demonstation license plate by the same customer at the same dealership is limited to no more than twice in a calendar year."

In this case, they are not customers, but they are actually employees or owners of the dealership

It says intended for use by a customer, nowhere does it say that employees of the dealership are prohibited from using it.

IIRC dealer plates allow something along the lines of "use of a dealership vehicle for employees of said dealership, as well as up to 48 hours' use by a potential customer".

Also: don't think that people who use Dplates are getting away Scot free: they are ridiculously expensive. So expensive, in fact, that when one of the lot boys at the dealership I worked at got in a multi-car accident, the $12,000 cost of repairs was cheaper than the increase in premiums that would have hit the dealership otherwise.

The company which owns the Dplate is paying the premiums, not the driver (unless he's the owner), but don't think that doesn't mean premiums are getting paid.

You'll also probably notice that at any dealership you visit, there's never a vehicle left on the lot that's got a D plate. Why? Management usually takes them home. This is also usually why you'll never find a cheap demonstrator at a dealership; management doesn't like driving around in shitboxes.

What about plates such as OpenRoad Lexus?
Where they have those "personalized plates" such as IS-F, IS250, IS350, IS AWD, IS C, etc etc.
Are those registered as a [personalized] dealer plate? Under the same regulation?

Or are they probably same as any other citizen licencing a Personalized Plate?

Graeme S 09-06-2012 09:33 PM

Personalized plates are not the same as D plates; they're nontransferable. I'm guessing it's either the dealership footing the bill for promo cars, or individuals doing the same.

CAD is 1.02 right now. Might just be a spike. Hitting 1.05 and staying that way would be nice.

The picture is from the new Moncler ad campaign. The concept for the picture is the polar bears are snuggling up to the jacket because it's warm.
