The court reviewed a conviction for the unauthorized use of a dealer's license plate on a vehicle being driven to a repair shop. The court reasoned that transporting a vehicle to be repaired or serviced falls under the definition of a "transfer trip" pursuant to the relevant traffic ordinance, as such a journey is necessary for and in the interest of the operating business, thus qualifying for the temporary use of a dealer's plate under the given circumstances, reversing the lower court's stricter interpretation which had required the trip to be strictly indispensable to the business itself, separate from customer convenience.
