License plate

Recommended Posts

As of October 1, the law is changing in MARYLAND. I copied this text from a post on C3M for those who don't already know.

 

 

House Bill 577 states that effective 10-1-2013 any car mfg. without means to display front plate will not be required to do such. The front plate will be needed to be kept inside the car but not displayed. Now if your car has the tag backing plate already on it you might be sol.

So, when you buy a NEW MINI or one from another state that didn't require a front plate (no backing plate currently installed), just tell the Dealer NOT to drill for it and don't install one yourself.

 

Probably a good idea to carry a copy of the legislation with for the cops (and dealers) who didn't get the message, so I'm adding a link to the Bill for anyone who wants to carry with (along with that useless front tag) http://static.openstates.org/documents/md/MDD00043637

 

YAY!!! :congrats:

We MD drivers will have to watch for the update/change to the law on or after Oct. 1st, since carrying a copy of the MD House Bill will not do much, it is not the law. As of today, the current statute still states that 2 plates are required on cars (Class A vehicles):

Well Pooh!! The bill didn't pass in the legislature, so no change is forthcoming. Maryland drivers will still need 2 tags (front & back). Sorry to get your hopes up.
