Title: Single license plate law introduced in New Jersey Senate
Post by: Richard on February 04, 2014, 12:28:25 am

I just received information about this legislation in NJ and thought it might be of interest to others in the club. I sent my letter supporting this bill to all of the senators listed. I hope you will all do the same. There are a lot of voters in this club.
Thanks.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
The state did away with the 5 cent year sticker and state inspections to save money but still spend money on an extra license plate.  2@cent

I have had only one plate on the strap since I put it on the road.

Shawn,
Where did you find that info? I just looked on the DMV site and couldn't find anything about it. I assumed since they gave me two plates I was supposed to use both.
Just asking.

Is this for DD's too? I hate having a front plate. I think it is such an eye sore.

Yes, I believe the law is mainly for all daily driver vehicles. The idea is to save money for the state. We're just an added benefit.

I remember hearing from Bud Ward that you don't have to display the Front Plate but it has to be with you in the car??? He did a lot of phoning DMV research on it.
I don't run one on my buggy  2@cent

Cheers

Thanks Shawn.
Somehow I missed that section.
Front plate is... history.
