Would suggest going ahead getting your tags. Back in the late eightys when I first put my 38 on the road It was about 7:30 pm full dark when I decide everything was good for test run. I had insurance but hadn't gotten tags. Took off got about 1.5 miles from home a car backed out of driveway without looking or didn't give a darn had to come to full stop just barely avoided car. If I had hit them I would have been considered at fault as I had no business on the road without tags. Peoples driving skills and attitudes have not improved in the last 20 years. Ambulance chasers specialize in blaming everyone but those that actually cause the problem.
