## About this plate

SOUTH CAROLINA MANUFACTURER PLATES. The one-licensed-vehicle-per-household rule is a genuine oddity, South Carolina limits how many manufacturer-plated cars can live at one address.

## Permitted use

exclusively on vehicles, including motorcycles, owned by or in the possession of the manufacturer; not on wreckers, not on vehicles leased or rented to the public. Vehicles so plated, not more than one licensed vehicle per household, may be operated by persons authorised by the manufacturer, on that manufacturer's brand, for TESTING, DISTRIBUTION, EVALUATION AND PROMOTION, and for no more than TWENTY CONSECUTIVE DAYS in connection with civic and sporting events (§ 56-3-2330(A), (C))
