What is the maximum duration for a demonstration drive using dealer demo plates?

The maximum duration for a demonstration drive using dealer demo plates is set at 7 days. This regulation is in place to ensure that demo vehicles are used for a limited timeframe, allowing potential buyers an opportunity to experience the vehicle while maintaining oversight of the vehicle's usage. The 7-day limit is designed to prevent extended use that could transform the demo vehicle into a regular vehicle on the road, which could lead to complications regarding insurance, registration, or maintaining the vehicle's status as a demo unit. Keeping the demo period short helps maintain the integrity of demo programs and ensures that dealers comply with state regulations regarding vehicle usage and sales practices.
