Another License Plate Question

hola,

heres the question:
Since most states require both front and rear license plate, would it be considered 'hazardous' if your license plate is on the top right portion of your windshield, i.e. using window suction cups?

i'm planning on removing my front bumper license plate, and just having one license plate (rear) scares me, since the DMV gave me 2

Or you could move to Louisiana (we only require the rear)...on second thought, just put the second one on your bumper where it goes.

Every state is different... Illinois requires you to have a front AND rear plate...

MISSOURI HOWEVER : No Front Plate and WikiAnswers - Is a front license plate required for your personal ...

Looks like you NEED to have a front plate s0n. The reason they do is so when there radaring your car there basically aiming at the plate because its reflective, and flat so it bounces back at them to give them an accurate reading...

You also have to think how that particular item will behave when in a crash. It's like throwing in a meat cleaver in there with you, if it goes flying about. O_O

Ah glad NC doesn't enforce front license plate (kinda surprise. They are that type of state who would enforce that kind of stuff).

in ohio they require front and rear license plates but from my experience you are more likely to get pulled over if you do something strange with ur front plate rather than not having one at all

haha damn cummunists..

i believe the front license plate on the front bumper should be removed, looks way sexier without it.

i just don't feel like being bitch'd by cops!
