Odd little detail in that you must intend to register the new car and transfer that plate to the new car.
I think technically (and this may be into angels on a pin territory) but as written you are not able to put the plate on a new car, drive it to registries, register it with a new plate and put the old plate back on the old car.
Obviously, this is nearly impossible to enforce. "Do you intend to transfer it?" "Yes, oops I changed my mind after I got the new car registered with new plates".
However, it is interesting as it is kind of sloppy drafting.
