Vehicle License Plate visibility urged

This article appeared in the BR Advocate today in the event you did not see it. Be sure to keep your vehicle's license plate clean and unobstructed and properly illuminated at night, or you could get a ticket! This applies to trailers also.........

License Plate visibility urged
ADVOCATE STAFF REPORT
July 29, 2012

State Police and local law enforcement agencies are beginning an aggressive enforcement effort aimed at obscured license plates, according to a State Police news release issued Saturday.
Anyone caught with their license plates obscured in any way, including by dirt, mud, or frames that cover part of the plate, will be subject to ticketing, the release says.
State law requires vehicle license plates be clearly displayed, as well as illuminated at night by license plate lights, the release says.
Clear license plates can help citizens more easily report reckless or impaired drivers, as well as vehicles involved in criminal acts, the release says.
“While increasingly sophisticated investigative tools are deployed each day, the simple act of being able to clearly read and report a vehicle’s license plate is often the first step to removing dangerous individuals from our communities,” Col. Michael Edmonson, State Police superintendent, said in the release.

good

its long overdue to make license plate covers (clear or smoked) as illegal as no plate at all.

they also need to outlaw blacked out tail lights and decorative tail light covers.

i am so sick of seeing vehicles with plates you cant read because of crappy plastic covers just because people are too lazy to keep them clean. because these people know you cant read thier license so they can drive reckless and cut you off without any thought to being held responsible.

i hate tax collector cops but in this one instance i agree with it.

that said, dont get me started on why its ok to have illegal window tint on almost every cop car or with how they are constantly guilty of reckless driving, speeding, and obvious drunk driving seen done daily by the cops on the road.

Don't me laugh

I cross the GNO bridge several times a week. One no want has a bridge pass yet they use the pass lane. Just check out the dump trucks on the road. They could give out a 1000 tickets a day at these toll gates. lol lol
