Can you drive it on public streets with the NY plates or do you have to swap to local ones or trailer it?

I asked him the same question. License plate theft is prevalent there, so he uses the NY and Ontario plate for car shows and while parked. Using a NY plate is not allowed on French roadways.I thought it would be cool for him to zip around Paris with NY plates. Heck, I might ask if he wants a MN plate I just removed from the wife's car.

Indeed, in France there are hugely stolen number plates.
So as I post pictures and videos of my car here at gatherings I always ask foreign plates.
But indeed I can not ride on the open road with traffic.
The video you see is a parking lot of a restaurant.
The French law states that in a private place you can use what you want but only in a private place.
As soon as I leave this place I removed the plates and does not use the siren and flashes.

Redleg6, Will you sell the plates texas?

I just put new plates on my TB.

I would be more than willing to ship my old plates to France! Shipping (no idea how much it would be) and a cool pic posted here is all I would ask for. I'll cover the shipping if it is not ridiculous.

It's a Minnesota plate though. Definitely not as cool as NY, FL, TX, or CA. Or the "Live free or die" New Hampshire plates.

It's basically the same here in the states. However you'd have to be really careful with flashing red emergency lights. I think just having them on a non emergency vehicle (not even turned on) will get you a ticket esspecially on public streets.

Here in the US, it depends on which state you're in, as they all have different laws for emergency lighting. Here in GA, volunteer firefighters can run red, in other states, volunteers run blue.

Yes I am well and I'd be happy for a photo near the Eiffel tower with your plates!
Ask your post office charges sent to France.
Usually the plates come in a standard envelope.
I will pay postage with paypal.

Somehow I missed this. I'm heading to the post office tommorrow morning before work. If it's an arm and a leg, I'll see how many I can get away with.
