Which action is permitted with a temporary registration permit?

A temporary registration permit is specifically designed to allow for the legal operation of a vehicle while its registration is being processed or until a permanent registration can be obtained. Issuing a permit for a demonstration drive is permitted because it enables potential buyers to test drive the vehicle legally, ensuring that they can experience the vehicle's functions and suitability before making a purchase decision.

During a demonstration drive, the temporary registration permit serves as a legal document to indicate that the vehicle is authorized for use on public roads during that limited time frame. This specific use aligns with the purpose of temporary permits and helps facilitate private sales by providing clarity and compliance with motor vehicle laws.

Other actions, such as issuing a permit for a private sale or allowing multiple permits for the same vehicle, do not align with the intended use of temporary registration permits as they could lead to confusion or potential misuse. Similarly, permitting unlimited demonstration drives would be impractical and could invite regulatory concerns, as the temporary nature of these permits is meant for specific, short-term purposes.
