Ha! When I lived in Palo alto I kept dealer plates on for three years before receiving a ticket: ticket was for speeding, the no plates part cost me all of $10 and a 2 min police inspection, after which the card board plates went right back on.

You meant the special plate with "DLR" embossed vertically on the left?

Sorry, I meant the cardboard advertisements for the dealership.
