[TommyT]

Thanks Tommy,

The car Is under a collector car policy as as classic and is driven less then 3000 miles per year. I did speake to DMV today and they said only cars that are 25 + years can have QQ plates.

Maybe I miss understood.... Any one want to clarifie???

It's not about the plates. You qualify for an inspection exemption . Here is a snip-it from the NJ DMV site.

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]For a vehicle to be designated as a "collector vehicle," the owner must apply* at the time of registration or renewal for this designation and must provide evidence that the vehicle
[/font]

• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]is not registered as a "historic vehicle," under N.J.S.A. 39:3-27.3 et seq., or a "street rod," under N.J.S.A. 39:3-27.27,[/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]is not driven more than 3,000 miles per year,[/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]is insured as a limited use "collector vehicle." (Proof must be supplied at time of odometer verification.)[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]For inspection-exempt status, the vehicle must be taken to a state inspection station for odometer and insurance verification.[/font]

• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Visit the exit end of the inspection station.[/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ask the inspector to verify the odometer reading of the "collector vehicle"; MVC may require that the vehicle be equipped with an odometer lock.[/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Pay fee ($25 and $10 per renewal) for the special decal which indicates that the vehicle is exempt from safety and emission inspection.[/font]

You can "dispute" the test results if ya think there was a error in the readings,or ya think the inspector was at fault pefrorming the test.
Regardless ya still have 45 days to get legal or thay will pull the vehicles registration.

Catch ya later!
