It's irrelevant according to most state highway usage codes. It's all about "what" you pay for. Just because I pay registration, inspection, and tax fees for motor vehicle usage on public roadways doesn't give me the right to drive anything on the road other than what's specified in the highway code. If what you suggest is true, then by your reasoning you could take license tags from one vehicle and put them on another and claim to be legally licensed. But most people are aware that this is illegal. The paying of fees and use taxes don't permit me to legally drive a lawnmower on the public roadways similarly. Ditto for a two wheeled, non motor vehicle such as a bicycle.
For the record, this varies from state to state.
Yeah... funny thing indeed! :-)
