New rules on front license plate in Nevada

From this weeks Review Journal:

Last week, we told you that Nevada drivers must display license plates on the front of their cars. Since then, the Road Warrior's Department of New Laws Nobody Knows About called up our international headquarters to alert them that's not so any longer in the Silver State.

"They passed a law that said if you have a motor vehicle that isn't set up for a front license plate, you don't have to have one," said Tom Jacobs, a spokesman with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.

This is what the law now reads, in part:

"If the motor vehicle was not manufactured to include a bracket, device or other contrivance to display and secure a front license plate, and if the manufacturer of the motor vehicle provided no other means or method by which a front license plate may be displayed upon and secured to the motor vehicle: (a) One license plate must be attached to the motor vehicle in the rear; and (b) The other license plate may, at the option of the owner of the vehicle, be attached to the motor vehicle in the front."

In layman's terms, if there's no license plate holder or bracket in front of your car, you don't need to rig a plate to the front. The law took effect July 1."

I have yet to see a Mini in Vegas that had a front license plate. Good to know I am not breaking any laws...

John, you never see Coopers? Most of the Coopers I've seen in town have front plates on, coz they have a location to mount them.
Most of the Ss don't, coz people don't want to drill holes in their cars just to mount a plate.
So...everyone has to tell consistant stories to the cops...MINI dealerships don't supply front brackets.
