AAA hosts events to replace peeling license plates for free for Pennsylvania residents

Several Pittsburgh-area events to replace peeling license plates for free will be hosted by AAA East Central.

In Pennsylvania, vehicle owners can be pulled over and fined up to $100 for having a license plate that is deemed illegible.

A registration plate is Illegible when one or more characters cannot be recognized from 50 feet, if the registration plate shows any blistering, peeling, discoloration, or loss of reflectivity, according to PennDOT. Motorists can request replacement plates when an authorized representative of PennDOT or law enforcement determines that a plate is illegible.

At AAA’s license plate events, officers will examine license plates and attendees can place orders for new ones.

The first event will be held today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the AAA Pleasant Hills Branch Office, 9 Clairton Blvd., Pleasant Hills.

Events will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the following locations:

• May 16, AAA Rochester Branch Office, 300 Adams St., Rochester
• May 23, AAA South Hills Branch Office, 160 Fort Couch Rd., Pittsburgh
• May 25, AAA North Hills Branch Office, 4790 McKnight Rd., Pittsburgh
