share the road licence plate

 

I signup for the Share the road bicycle plate back in Nov, having paid my $17 fee. I guess in Feb or march they got the required 1500 commitment, will start making the plates. I got a letter in early april from  Secretary of State, that as soon as I pay, they will start mailing on April 30th. I paid $133 for plate renewal with additional fee for the Share the road plate. My problem is, my plates expired on April 30th, I am now driving on expired plates. I need my car for work, I bike to work normally, except since April 30th, it was forecasted rain every day in coming days too, so I need my car.

  Has anyone who signed up, gotten their plates? Also how can find out my status with the plates. what will the police do?, I normally don't have police behind me, but last week 3 of those days, I had a police car behind, maybe lucky that they were probably getting ready to go home.

   I have no proof to show, and my check has yet to be cashed. Plus my exhaust just got a hole in it and is making a lot of noise, possablie attracting police.

    any tips would be helpful... thanks in advance......Jerry

Julie, If he did not reserve one, he would probably need to order it as you need the last four digits of the VIN and other information to order the plates.

But the good news is we can still order them!

I received mine today (5/24) which is pretty good since I didn't mail the form back until the end of the first week of May. :)

Hmm. We reserved ours, but forgot to order them when the second letter came in saying to pay for the remainder. Have to get on that as our current plates expire in August.  I like the look of the plates, and think they will look really cute on the Deathwagon.

Saw one on a car in front of me on Old Orchard Road in Skokie this morning (plate number in the 1300s). Looked good! Will have to get me one (that or the Autism Awareness one, I'm torn between the two).
