[WPTA] Dzus meeting

[xj61975 at aol.com]

Even before any recent changes, there is no restriction to drive an antique registered car in PA after dark as long as you lighting meets current standards. This has been true for at least the last 25 years if not longer. Many people do not understand this and stick with Classic plates.

I looked into the after dark driving in PA in the past, and this statement "used" to be there....
Antique vehicles operated exclusively between sunrise and sunset are exempt from the normal lighting requirements of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, but must have their original lighting equipment.  
It looks that that statement has now even been removed from the code, as I am unable to findit anyplace on PennDot documents...
Here is what I think is the current document that mentions nothing about driving after dark..
  USE OF ANTIQUE, CLASSIC AND VINTAGE REGISTRATION PLATESThe use of antique, classic and vintage registration plates is governed by Section 1340 of the PennsylvaniaVehicle Code, which states: “It is unlawful for any person to operate a motorcycle or vehicle with antique,classic or vintage registration plates for general daily transportation. Permitted use shall be limited toparticipation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades, occasional transportation and similar uses.” Occasionaltransportation and similar uses are defined as no more than one day a week.Although buses and trucks are eligible for antique, classic and vintage registration plates, buses MAY NOT beused to transport passengers and trucks MAY NOT haul cargo. Antique, classic and vintage registration platesare not available for motorized pedalcycles or motor homes.

If PA law says can’t drive after dark, does your insurance company still cover you if you do ?
Mine is American Modern and they say they go by each States restrictions / guidelines 
I would not be covered when driving in dark hours in PA
Appreciate any feedback 
Thx
