Ok, I'm sorry.
I now understand that it is perfectly legal . I was wrong. I apologize.
I still would not try it. But, that is just me.
I just am the sort of person that likes to be extra legal. I once got pulled over in SD while going down the interstate for "Loud Exhaust". He then used the excuse to write me out a couple of other tickets. I found out from my lawyer that there is no law in SD for how loud your exhaust can be on the interstate. It is up to each city to set a ordnance for that. Didn't stop him from pulling me over though .
When it came time for court. There was no court. The lawyer did a plea deal thing (or something like that I don't understand the law at all) and they dropped the loud exhaust, and one other charge. Then they gave me a 200 dollar fine that I payed my mail. I never even had to go back to SD.
Ever since that day I have been extra legal. I don't do anything to raise suspicion. I don't even use bumper stickers for fear they might say something the cop doesn't like and then he will pull me over.
As long as we are getting technical about plates. There was a article written in the local paper by the local public relations officer cop. She stated that those license plate holders that the put around your plate at the dealership that give the dealership name are illegal. They cover up too much of the plate. Same way with those plastic covers that you put over the front plate to make it easier to clean the bugs off. She says you can not have those either.
I realize that I have changed the subject and that these are 2 different subjects. I am just using this as a example of how easy it can be to be violating the law and never knowing it.
This is why I will keep my plate on the left side and lighted.
Have a nice Day .Caveman Charlie
