License Plate

Hi,
In Wisconsin you are not required to license trailers under 3000lbs GW. So when I'm towing my Cargo trailer which is under 3000lbs it has no plate or license. My plate on my F350 can't be seen due to my Cargo trailer. It haven't been stopped yet for this but I'm wondering what other states law actually is for having your plate obstructed.

    Getting stopped by any cop is a pita.

    And IMHO I don't think there is a cop on the road that knows ALL the states different requirements for all the different types of vehicles/trailers.

    And if he is coming up from behind you he doesn't 'know' which state you are from to make that decision whether to stop you or not. He's stopping you because you have no plate.

    With all that is going on nowadays with police stops? That is why I 'did' purchase a plate that was not necessary for my TT to AVOID the whole scenario. Why do you think DMV offers that option? :W

    DMV makes the offer because it is more revenue for them, just like specialized plates. Its all about money.
