Plate Frames And Auto-Retracting Plate Covers Will Get You In Big Trouble
This isn’t so much a modification as it is an accessory, but plate covers and plate frames can still get you into a lot of trouble with the police. Simple plate frames are perfectly fine, but one that covers the numbers, letters, or the state are strictly prohibited. If a cop can’t clearly read your license plate number he or she will pull you over, give you a ticket, and likely make you take it off ASAP. The other accessory in this category is the auto-retracting license plate cover, which is banned for obvious reasons. If you were perhaps trying to get out of a ticket or doing something illegal in your car, these gadgets allow you to simply hide your car’s identity and escape. But not anymore. Those will get you a big ticket, even if your plate isn’t covered.
