What's the Deal with Permanent Plates?
Let’s get one thing straight: permanent plates aren’t some magical, mystical item you can find at the end of a rainbow. They’re actually a practical solution for fleet owners with a certain number of vehicles. But don’t let that discourage you, dreamers! We all have our own version of a fleet: your car, your partner’s car, and maybe that questionable third vehicle you found parked on the street.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
Okay, okay, I’m kidding (mostly). To qualify for permanent plates, you generally need a fleet of 25 or more vehicles. But hey, there’s always hope for the future! Maybe one day we’ll all be able to rock permanent plates on our personal rides.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
The Permanent Plate Pursuit
If you’re lucky enough to have a fleet that qualifies, let’s talk about the process. Picture this: you fill out forms, gather paperwork, and perform a complex ritual involving incense and a crystal ball. Just kidding again! While it’s not exactly a walk in the park, it’s certainly less painful than a root canal.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
