Default License Plate Question?

Ok, what's legal and what's not?

I recently bought a [R-Racing] license plate which i put on the back of my car
is that Legal or not. Some say no. I thought only the front is required cause of
the red-light camera tracking device. let me know thanks[&:]

It's the oher way around. You may be able to get away with no front plate. Some cops care, sone don't. Some cars don't even come with a place to mount a front plate. But you for sure need that rear plate. And they can no longer give you tickets based on a photo radar system. At least out here in CO. They determined its illegal.

yea the rear is required everywhere. there are plenty of states that only have rears. but damn IL has front and rear. but i only run the rear and have a cool roush plate for up front on the stang. i had the front plate on the civ but took it off cause it looks better w/o it.
have not been hasseled yet for no front plate either.
if u take the front off jsut keep it with you if u get pulled over so then at least u have it.

It's a matter of what state you live in. For example, here in NY and I think in NJ both a front and rear plate is necessary. Some states only require one.

A rear is required everywhere. No matter what. Some cities/states will pull you over if it's not mounted correctly. A friend of mine got pulled over cause the plate was mounted with one screw and was sitting slightly slanted.


states that require front plate:

Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinios, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virgina, Washington state, Wisconsin, Wyoming.

States that DONT require a front plate:

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana (WERD), Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia.

30 states and DC require it, 20 states do not.

That must be new. I have a list of states that don't require them and Idaho is on it.
