Kranz Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Trade plates can be used by anyone that the plate owner allows to use them i.e employees, but there needs to be a written record or register with the details of who is using them and what dates & which vehicle They need to be properly displayed on the front and back of the car, not in the windows. The car is not to be left on the highway unattended with trade plates. No personal journey should be made with trade plates (other than the original transportation journey) i.e. to go shopping etc The car still needs to be insured. Good luck!
