It is stupid to make this a law just for the "benefit" of meter maids. No 
one else ever looks at
the front plate. The front plate, IMO, ruins the look of the De Lorean, and 
most other cars for 
that matter. Besides, isn't exercise good for you? >>


Why I couldnt agree more that front license plates look horrible, this is 
hardly the only reason for them. States that have them are usually because 
it gives law enforcement personnel double the visibility for the plates. For 
instance a speeder coming at you you might get the front plate but not the 
rear or if someone is involved in a hit and run then a bystander might have 
seen the front and not the back and so on. There are plenty of instances 
where someone might only see the front of the car clearly and the back not so 
clear. In any event it is simply for better visibility that states have the 
front plate. I would be happy if my state repealed the front plate 
requirement however.
