What are some improper uses of the transportation license plates? Issuance of transporter license plates under chapter 46.76 RCW does not authorize driving or towing of vehicles on the public highways for the following purposes or in the following manner:

1. (1) On any vehicle in which a licensee has an ownership or equitable interest, provided a towing unit owned by a licensee to deliver vehicles owned by others shall display a transporter plate in addition to a regular plate for the purpose of identification.
2. (2) For personal transportation.
3. (3) By any one other than the licensee or a bona fide employee who is carried on the licensee's payroll records.

4. (4) Failure to display plates as required under WAC 308-80-010.

   This rule shall not be construed to prevent a determination that other uses of such plates are improper.
