Fortunately the cop didn't give me a ticket, but told me to tell the salesperson about the plate. When I told the salesperson the plate needed to be seen from the rear, he said "Really? I never knew that!"
The time before that, the car salesperson said they had only been at the dealer a few months, and before that they sold insurance.
I got real fortunate two years ago when I bought my TT. The salesperson owned the same exact model I was buying, and knew exactly what TV was needed to tow it.
