No more front license plates in Ohio

[Mike Self]

From SAN (SEMA Action Network):  Ohio No Longer Requires Front License Plate 
Congratulations, Ohio! A provision of the 2019 Ohio Transportation budget bill (H.B. 62) which allowed for the display of only a single, rear-mounted license plate, goes into effect today, July 1, 2020. The state previously required both a front and rear plate. This new law is expected to save the state between $1.2 and $1.4 million per year.

SAN-opposed legislation (S.B. 179) to return to the two plate requirement in the state failed to pass before the new provision went into effect. However, this bill could still be passed this year. If you have not already done so already, please voice your opposition to the bill with lawmakers on the SAN website. Help spread the word by sharing the link with residents in the state and encourage them to follow suit by contacting the committee right away.

 

So, fellow Ohioans, you can display whatever you want on the front of your car--or nothing!

Thanks, Mike. 

No front plates in a state (Ohio) which requires them -- yet another reason to stop someone at 2 am when he is driving the only car within 2 miles and driving exactly the speed limit.  I wonder how I know this can happen...

More likely in Cincinnati than in Dayton because of Wright-Patterson AFB and all the military-owned out-of-state cars, many with no front license plates.  Too much trouble for the local minions of the law to check as they go by...

 

Interestingly, Ohio's YOM law only requires you to display one plate from your car's year--but carry both historical plates in the car.  Go figure...

Being black while driving?

 

It's retarded that people think skin color makes shit bit of difference, but since it's still going on, personally I've decided to start speaking up anytime someone starts acting retarded and letting them know they're being retarded.  If they don't talk to me anymore, that's one version of the solution.  Not bringing politics to the forum; racism isn't politics.  Shouldn't be anyway.  And if it is, you're retarded.

Discovered recently that you only get a rear 'historic' plate in Washington.

 

NOW I have finally seen the light, and will be gittin' me a bunch o' them things, considering

that most of my crap is 25+ years ancient.

This frees up your front for your favorite driver's plate!

In Ohio, only one historic plate was required even before this change was put through.
