I just renewed my license tabs. The plates on my car look brand new, but since they are five years old they "must" be replaced so I had to pay a $20 fee. For an additional $20 I can get the same plate number. So for $40 I can get license plates that look exactly like the plates that are already on my car.

You should be able to take your vehicle, have someone inspect the plates to see that they are in perfect condition and not have to get new ones. I wouldn't mind paying to have them replaced if they were damaged or faded. What a scam!
