Yesterday I went and hung out at the Department of Motor Vehicles. I have been driving around all month with expired tags. I was nervous enough driving around town with expired tags but I’m going to be driving out of town in a couple days and don’t want to get pulled over. While I was there, I asked some questions about the Share the Road plates.
If you pre-ordered plates before December 15th, you should get your approval certificate this week. If you ordered after that or are planning to order, it will take 2-3 weeks to get the certificate. You have to order the approval certificate online and have it before going to DMV to get the plates.
If your registration doesn’t renew in January or whichever month you go in to get them, you will be credited for the time remaining until your renewal. Your registration renewal will change to the month that you get the Share the Road plates.
Although the plates are supposed to be made, they don’t have them at the Chapel Hills location for El Paso county. The lady says they normally don’t get the new plates by the time they’re supposed to be available. She recommended calling before going in to get them.
Originally I had seen that they needed 3,000 pre-ordered or they wouldn’t be made. Now the Bicycle Colorado FAQ says that 3,000 need to be in circulation by July 1, 2009. Let’s make sure there are plenty of Share the Road plates to let other motorists know we care about cycling.

It’s a great idea – and nice looking plates.
Luckily here in France, motorists are pretty good at respecting cyclists
