Apparently modifying your license plate is completely legal in Virginia
So all of us who were paying attention probably noticed that the Virginia bill to allow removal of front license plates failed, and reportedly will never go anywhere. I was studying Virginia license plate codes, and found something unique - there is NO language regarding modification of license plates as long as the plate remains easily legible.
§ 46.2-716. How license plates fastened to vehicle; altering appearance of license plates.What do I mean by this? Apparently the picture below is completely legal. I don't personally really plan to do this, but thought it was interesting.
