License Plate Poll

[teamhayes]

I think in MA its a law you have to have both front and back plates

[EnchantedSoul]

Front and back. It's the law here.

[Deleted]

I have never heard of front and back? Its just back here

[carawestt]

Just back here.

[dixeedeluxe]

Both

[steph196]

It's the law in CA to have it on the front and back, but I only have mine on the back. I would have to get out the screwdriver to install the plate holder to the front, which is WAY too much work! Haha!

[lauranicole91]

Just back and it drives me insane. Back in CA it was front and back. I think it is really dangerous to only have back.

[kkfeb04]

Just back. I'm curious why lauranicole91 thinks it is dangerous.

[JuliaGulia]

Front & Back is required here

Front and back by law in Colorado.

Kansas was back only so the front confused me but it makes sense.

[unclejesse]

Back only in FL

[katfco]

Are there places where they have it only in the front? I thought back was always the default.

Me too.

And seriously, my mind is blown. I never knew other states had it front and back?! WHY?! 

[TrudyCampbell]

No car but front and back is the law in NY.

[vthokie]

Front and back make sense to me. After all, the purpose is to be able to identify a car. What if you can't see the car's rear plate? Having a plate on the front and back makes it easier to identify.

So you can get the plate number from either side. It blows my mind that some places only have one!

[Deleted]

lol I just cant believe I never noticed it before!? I mean, we just went on a huge road trip through several states and I can honestly say I never noticed a plate in front on any car. Maybe I just wasn't looking closely. So you guys need to purchase 2 plates then for 1 car I'm assuming... Weird!!!

[creamsiclechica]

Just back here.

Better question, who has specialty license plates?? Lol

[monkeybabe]

Front and back in Oregon

[The Foozzler]

Front and back is the law in CT.

When they changed it about 10 years ago I was upset. I had a sweet $100 bill plate on the front and everyone knew it was my car.

DH's license plate is FIV.OH on his mustang for...

Rollin' in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby
Waving just to say "Hi!"
Did you stop?  No, I just drove by...

[nikkiheat]

front and back in WA state .. I think it's weird when I travel and see vehicles with only a back plate

This.

[pippilongstocking]

My state in Australia has both front and back. I'm not sure of the other states, ill see if I notice any others today.

[Deleted]

I just have never heard of anyone having that problem... but I guess its legit. I guess its harder to get the license plate if you have to get them ahead of you, or follow them only. Thats usually what happens here.... if you think someone needs to be reported, you get to a point where you follow them. I thought that worked fine, but I guess not! haha

What if a psychopath is following you? You'd need the front plates! Not to freak you out... lol

lol! Yeah I guess that would be helpful. But I've heard you just call the cops and not to stop driving, and/or stop at someones house with their lights on and lay on the horn. 

[lolaburns]

Front and back here.

H says its so they can get more money out of you when you have to register them. Haha.

[mumegs]

Just back but I am in MI like sprinkles. I have never really thought about it in terms of the need to get someone's plate. All I know is plates are so damn expensive they better not start charging us for two!
