## About this plate

AR 320/2002 ss. 72-74. s. 72(4) states the binding plainly and it is the classic dealer-plate shape: "A dealer's certificate of registration and the licence plates issued with it apply to ALL MOTOR VEHICLES HELD FOR SALE by the holder of the certificate of registration from time to time", the plate is bound to the BUSINESS, not to any vehicle. s. 72(5) excludes vehicles held for hire. s. 73 runs the parallel regime for trailer dealers and s. 74 for dealers' plates generally. 115 and alberta.ca both bar from dealer plates.
