If you want to drive it on the roads, you've got to abide by the same rules as everybody else. Losing points at a competition is irrelevent - it is of no concern to the state. I am a bit offended that people think their own little hobbies exempt them from the rules that everybody else must follow.

So in other words, you want all the antique plates and stuff removed from circulation? I'm sorry you are offended but it doesn't concern me.

On the point of a concern to the state, anything that will save the state money is a concern that they will entertain.

Now, please explain your remark about exempting them from the rules that eveyone else must follow... we are not being exempted from anything. We still have to pay registration fees every year, we have to get the inspections and pay taxes, abide by the road rules, etc. We are in essence creating another "plate" specific to military vehicles. Nothing more.

The IFTA tax part of the proposal is basically a demand that Virginia follow the letter of the IFTA instead of blanket covering any vehicle they can. I guess you are confusing me since I don't understand why you think we are getting some kind of exemption.
