Re: Windshield license plate
In VA, I believe it is. Otherwise, I shouldn't have gotten pulled for it last week. Normally cops will let you go though if you just tell them you'll fix it later or explain to them the situation involving a mechanical issue on you car (i.e. the front mount.)

Re: Windshield license plate
LOL I never said say all that. I've used "the radiator doesn't get enough airflow" excuse so I moved the plate. They were cool with that. Maybe the front mount was a bad example lol.

Re: Windshield license plate

The license plate assigned to a motorcycle, trailer, or semitrailer shall be attached to the rear of the vehicle. The license plate assigned to a tractor truck shall be attached to the front of the vehicle. The license plates issued to licensed motor vehicle dealers and to persons licensed as transporters of unladen vehicles shall consist of one plate for each set issued and shall be attached to the rear of the vehicle to which it is assigned.
