AAA Hosting Free Event to Replace Peeling License Plates

AAA East Central and Hatfield Police are hosting an event for residents to replace peeling Pennsylvania license plates for free. 

In Pennsylvania, vehicle owners can be pulled over and fined up to $100 for having a license plate that is deemed illegible. According to PennDOT, a registration plate is deemed illegible when one or more characters cannot be recognized from 50 feet, or if the registration plate shows any blistering, peeling, discoloration, or loss of reflectivity. Motorists can request replacement registration plates when an authorized representative of PennDOT or law enforcement determines that a plate is illegible. At AAA’s license plate event, officers will examine license plates and, if necessary, attendees can place orders for new ones.

The event will be held on Friday, October 13 at the AAA Lansdale Branch Office (1250 N. Broad Street) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

AAA East Central is a not-for-profit association with 69 local offices in Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia serving 2.7 million members.  News releases are available at news.eastcentral.aaa.com.  Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
