[WPTA] Dzus meeting

[rroenigk at aol.com]

This all came about when friend went into PENNDOT last week to register new purchase, 1966 MGB
Asked person at counter what difference is between Classic and Antique
The response was driving after dark and the insurance company may not cover you
A call was made to insurance company. Response was, what ever each State regulations are determines your coverage 

This needs to be clarified 
PENNDOT staff should know regs, not embellish

Thx

I agree, Ed. 
Lucas is a genuine concern, but that pertains to more than lamps. Ha Ha!

The only caution against driving your Triumph at night, whether it has PA classic or antique plates, it the one by Joseph Lucas. We had this discussion 25 years ago.  "Gentlemen don't motor about after dark".PennDot doesn't care.Geez Loueez!!

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 PLATES The use of antique, classic and vintage registration plates is governed by Section 1340 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle 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 to participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades, occasional transportation and similar uses.” Occasional transportation 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 be used to transport passengers and trucks MAY NOT haul cargo. Antique, classic and vintage registration plates are not available for motorized pedalcycles or motor homes.

Subject for discussion 
Antique Tags
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
