There is probably no legal way to do what you are describing in either Maryland or Virginia.
A dated bill-of-sale would be a good negotiating tool if you happen to get pulled over by an LEO who is a reasonable person. I would go ahead and do it, driving very legally. |

Did you get the title signed? Bill of sale?
Id just keep that handy in case cop found me, present them and explain that I was going directly from A to B and would have tags on it before I drove again (unless DMV required VIN inspection, then I'd have to drive it there to get the tags. If you are nice and have your documents, I really doubt that they would give you shit. At least not around my parts. The cops out here are actually pretty nice if you have a good solid reason for what you are doing in cases like these beyond IDGAF. And I have btdt when it comes to explaining my case in a polite and rational way (successfully). |

Used to do it all the time (usually could get away with it for at least a week)
Now with the extreme revenue generation - good luck. |

That depends on that laws of the States you are driving in.
In my experience, you can usually go plateless for 15-30 days depending on state laws, but you are gonna get pulled over constantly, so make sure all your shit is good to go and have the signed and dated title with you. When my States BMV went digital I tried to register a car and they kept getting an error, so they printed me off a pass and had me tape it to the windshield, it was good for 30 days. I would get pulled over for no tags, cop would walk up, see the pass and walk away, rarely did they even say anything. 28 days would go by and I would go back to the BMV and get another one. I drove that car for 9 months before blowing the head gasket and selling it without a title for more than I paid for it. |

Depends on the state. Call the state police and ask or go the the BMV website.

I'm considering driving to Maryland tomorrow and purchasing a used car from a private party. DMV won't be open. The vehicle isn't currently registered so there's no tag to borrow until I get it home. Will a dated bill of sale and title get me home without getting in huge trouble? Other than a trailer no. |

My first truck I bought from a private seller, in state. I drove it for nearly a month with no tag of any kind and as far as I can tell it was legal to do so. I was never stopped.
However, in MO, trucks are often issued only one plate to go in front, and out-of-state vehicles often lack a front plate, so it doesn't really throw up any red flags unless you see both the front and the back. |

Call for a flatbed towtruck.
It'll be cheaper than the fines and insurance boost you get for the arrest/impound/points. God help you if you're involved in an accident with no insurance on an untagged vehicle, and you don't speak Messican, or at least passable fake E'spanish.... |

No there isn't a way to do that legally.
When I had a similar situation recently I took my chances and had my GF trail close behind me to prevent the police or anyone else from getting behind me. That and I drove very carefully and 3-5 under the speed limit. I carried the bill of sale if pulled over would have hoped that and a good attitude and demeanor would have gotten me through the situation cleanly. But I knew I was taking a chance and would have accepted the consequences if caught. Cheers! -JC |

DO NOT put a plate from another vehicle on it. That can easily get you charged with misuse of plates and waive your chances of catching a break.

I had the exact same situation. Here is what I did. I cut a piece of cardboard, to license plate size, then made a copy of the bill of sale(we did the transaction at a bank) and clear taped the copy of bill of sale to cardboard license plate on the car. It almost looked official.
Really though, you are just gambling that you won't get pulled over. Go for it. |

Maryland writes you a ticket just for entering their state.

Back roads. Just pretend you are a moonshiner out making a delivery.
Here in WA without that trip permit and valid insurance you would be getting a ticket. I did it several times back in my youth and never had an issue or was pulled over. |

If the car doesn't have a VA inspection you can still get cited for this. Theoretically, the best and completely legal way to do this would to be to have the seller meet you at a VA inspection station, get the car inspected and then drive it home with the trip permit. Unfortunately, most inspection stations are closed on Sunday or they do not perform inspections on weekends because that would be entirely too convenient for the citizens of this state. |
