In PA there is a similar law about cars with classic or antique plates.
I've heard some old wives tales about an individual who worked a late shift
at a factory and drove a restored classic of some sort. It seems a cop
worked that same night beat, and noticed the car running to and from the
factory. After a few months, he caught on, and the offender (If he offended
anyone!) was ticketed.
I DO know of people who weren't caught by the cops, but a much worse
authority...Their insurance company. When he reported his yearly mileage,
forgetting the 3,000 mile per year rule, the insurance company smelled a rat
and promptly raised his rates. YMMV, but I would get them anyway and be
'smart' about how you use the car.
