Hidden toad vehicle Plate
Any one ever been pulled over for having a bike, scooter, or what not on the back of your toad for hiding the plate? Just curious.

Did I misread the OP's question. I believe he wants to put a bike or m/c on the back of his towed vehicle. Doing so would block the license plate on it so it would not be visible.
There are various implements that do just this, hitch mounted storage racks, disability scooters etc. Is it legal to do so? In California it is not. (CVC Section 5201(a)) My guess is it would also not be legal in most other states although I have not researched that, due to traffic camera enforcement and regular police work. Would I have cited for such and infraction? Probably not. Would I stop you for such and infraction? Maybe. The OP has to decide if it's worth it to possibly be stopped, delayed and maybe undergo a vehicle inspection while trying to have a weekend camping trip. To me I'd rather ensure my rig combination was legal....Dennis
