Reply to comment by DBLJ33 in how do people drive home new vehicles they've bought without insurance? by [deleted]

Because you don't have to "dispose of the previous car." You just can't have both registered at the same time with the same plates, obviously. I've done this, multiple times. I've swapped plates from project cars to new dailies while still having the other car. Nothing is stopping you from still owning the old car.

You do actually.

“Massachusetts allows a grace period of 7 calendar days from the date you dispose of your previous vehicle to register your newly acquired vehicle.” https://www.mass.gov/how-to/transfer-your-registration-to-a-vehicle-or-trailer-purchased-from-a-dealer

Okay, can you link the statute that says the previous vehicle must be disposed of? Edit: I'm only asking because the link you shared doesn't say the vehicle must be disposed of.

Also, can you link the source about who is checking and how they verify that?

Also, can you explain to me how I and several others have been able to swap plates while minting possession of the previous vehicle?

Here’s the mgl. https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXIV/Chapter90/Section2

As for your other drivel, ask the state. It’s in black and white for you. You must lose possession of the previous vehicle.

That link also doesn't say anywhere the previous vehicle must be disposed of. You're wrong.

Go fight the registry.

Again, it doesn't say anywhere that the previous vehicle must be disposed of or can't be in your possession. You're wrong.

From the registry website, you know the people in charge of vehicle registrations. Kind of hard to argue that it doesn’t say it anywhere when it’s directly from their website in plain English.

The registry website is run independently and is a for profit website.

Read the quote. Read the laws you linked. No where does it say that the vehicle must be disposed of or that it can no longer be in your possession.

I actually added emphasis for you. It seems words are really difficult for you, so I'm gonna stop, because this is really stupid.

Have a good night, buddy.
