Licence plates went on sale two months ago but there are more than 1,600,000 drivers who have not yet bought their new plates. "At this rate drivers can expect long, frustrating line-ups to de- velop as the deadline ap- proaches," said Mr. Carton. "I hope that those drivers who have not bought their new plates will recognize the situation and come forward as soon as pos- sible.' Mr. Carton said that in keeping with the practice over the past several years, there will be no ex- tension of the Feb. 28 deadline. The new -style, multi-year plates are expected to last up to five years. Registration fees will continde ,. to be paid on a yearly basis with validation stickers issued for both owners' permits and licence plates. uyng:a use The old adage of • kicking the tires of a used vehicle before pur- chasing it, may be satisfying for the novice, but a more know- ledgeable car purchaser when looking at a used vehicle as a prospective customer is likely to inspect the engine compartment.
