[MCARC] Car license, ham plates

[Dave Crawford]

I imagine the law enforcement is aware of the fact that new AR tags are not being issued yet. I think you are supposed to have the registration in your vehicle but it you have both a car and truck AR tag is is more important.  When I had my accident in Marysville with my truck, they ran my license plate and it did not come up with my truck.  I could kind of tell the officer thought there was a problem and told him that you can have the same AR tag on two vehicles as long as one is a car and the other is a truck.  The officer was not aware of this but showing him the registration paper convinced him there was not  a problem.

I have a K-tag for both vehicles.  Apparently the K-tag computer system does not allow two vehicles with the same license plate “number”.  My K-Tag account doesn’t list any vehicle, it just says “multiple vehicles”.  I first discovered this issue in 2020 when I got an email asking me to identify the vehicle on one of my K-tags.  I couldn’t do it online and when I called them they couldn’t do it either.  I have been on the turnpike multiple times this summer with my car but have not driven the truck since the cashless system went live in July.  I don’t anticipate it being a problem since it is reading the K-tag not the license plate.

I paid the first of the month and did the call to notify them that I did not receive a plate before 2 weeks.  I did get my camper plate, but not the Call letter pickup or car with ham.  They said " don't worry " about them.  But no plates yet, and now I am without a new plate on pickup or car.    Dennis
