Under what circumstances can dealer plates be used?

Dealer plates are specifically designated for use on vehicles that are owned by the dealership or those that have been consigned to the dealership for business purposes. This means that when a dealer uses a vehicle with dealer plates, it must be linked to the dealership’s operations, such as demonstrating a vehicle to potential buyers or transporting it for repairs. This designation helps ensure that dealer plates are not misused for personal gain or unrelated purposes, maintaining accountability and adherence to regulations governing the use of dealer plates.

The other options suggest more permissive uses that don't align with the intended regulation of dealer plates. Using them on any vehicle deemed convenient or solely for personal errands would lead to potential abuses of the system, undermining its intended purpose. Similarly, limiting the use only to personal vehicles of the dealer would contradict the primary function of dealer plates, which are expressly meant for business use. Thus, the correct option reflects the legal and practical use of dealer plates within the automotive sales industry.
