> [@sedlmeier101](#): > > they say it helps when crossing the border… but I cannot tell you how many times they asked me to get out of my car and read them my plate number…I thought the purpose of a front plate is so the border patrol can read your plate when you drive up. That seems pretty stupid since Quebec doesn’t issue front plates. The scanner at the border reads rear plates because everyone has a rear plate. If you were going to install a scanner would you install one that could only read some cars because it looked for a front plate that may not be there, or one that could read all cars because the rear plate is required by law everywhere? ---

I love Nevada’s law… If the vehicle comes equipped with a front plate from the factory it’s required. If it does not, it’s not required. Neither of our cars have front plates. ---

There are good ways to try to get NY to get rid of the front plate, and then there are stupid lazy ones like this online petition. What would work is look at how much that extra plate costs with the ever rising cost of metals. Then play up the CO emissions associated with making twice as many plates as are actually needed. Do the research, get all your numbers straight, then take it to a local news station. Wrap the story and the research up in a nice form letter and give people an easy way to click and send that form letter to all their local and state representatives.
