Covered license plate pics

Would mounting it upside down be a protest like flying the flag upside down?

You only mount your plate upside-down if your car is in distress, not protest.

In NYS you can get a ticket if your plate is defaced or unreadable.

There was a batch of plates where the colored covering over the metal plate is peeling off. You have to apply for a replacement or you can get a "fix it" ticket that you'll have to pay if you don't replace it.

People have used a power washer to remove the vinyl covering so the plate readers can't read it.

There is a batch of Idaho plates that have begun to peel off, too. I have one of them. They went away from actual embossed letter several years back, and the new ones are some sort of screen print. Then they started slating the roads and the corrosion makes the vinyl peel off the aluminum. Not their problem, your problem since here in Idaho, you own the plate.

At least plates are cheap here. Just inconvenient to go into the DMV and wait all day to get it done.

Just to shake things up I get a new plate every year and why not? They are cheap here😀

I was in the registry office today trying to sort out a VID number discrepancy on my street Buggy. I was assured once again in no uncertain terms that the ownership of a vehicle cannot be legally disclosed to any member of the public under any circumstance. This also applies to the VIN number. You cannot bring a VIN number in and get access to the current owner's information. You can do a title search for bank leans, salvage status, accident records, stolen vehicle status but not the ID of the current owner!

I don't hide my plates, I just don't display them both------thereby cutting my exposure by 50%.

Good one iowegian

This will not apply to oprn and some others outside the U.S. I wonder how many people in this thread still write personal checks to retail stores. Think about a dishonest store clerk that now has your name, address, routing number, and account numbers. Usually the people that write checks are the customers that are afraid to shop online or use bank cards for security purposes

Here in Alberta they only issue one plate and it goes on the rear of the car. You can run anything you want on the front but most people have nothing there. This plastic one came on my Buggy and I just left it on.

Some day I will find one that says "My other car is a Porsche." for it. Then I will look for one that says "My other car is a Dune Buggy." and put it on the front of my 944!

I run a YOM plate on my 68 single cab (Year of Manufacture). Only one plate required. Front looks much cleaner without a plate.

Oregon is two plates required. 10 minutes over the River in WA. One plate required.
