UPDATE: See Post #11 - Bill did not pass

Well it's about time ... as of today no more front license required in the great state of Maryland!

Key points to note:
The absent front plate must be easily accessible in the vehicle
You can only run without a plate IF there is no way to mount it to the vehicle ... so fill in those holes

If it had a plate yesterday you still need it. That's what I read, you cannot just fill in the holes.

 

This is awesome. No holes in mine and I carry the plate in the car.

My Bonneville has a cover that can go back on and no holes would show. I wonder if thats ok now too.?

 

Yep, thats the way i read it too, but I still might give it a go...please add to the discussion.

 

I thought the BIG news out of Maryland was that liquor stores statewide could now sell growlers.

 

Big news is just a matter of perspective!

 

VA requires you to run a front plate but I haven't run a front plate since I bought my SRT-6. I have a custom Europlate on my front bumper. I got pulled over a few weeks ago for reasons of pure stupidity (I forgot to put my registration stickers on my new plates.....lol) and the cop didn't even say anything about me not having a front tag. I'm just gonna keep on driving around without one until cite me for it. I don't even have holes in my front bumper to run a tag.

 

I wish that was the case here in Vt. I hate front plates. Got a ticket for it last year in my Wife's Tribeca. Bummer.

 

Alabama did away with front plates decades ago. I can't remember when, I think it was early 1960's, but I sure am glad they did.

 

I know this is an older thread but did this actually pass into law? Ive been searching for an answer for hours and while I am able to find the bill.....I can find nothing stating it passed into law.

 

called MD state police they say bill 577
didn't pass and they write the tickets
as of 10/25/17
hate when things are posted wrong

Thanks Eddie for the cheerful update!

 

SC doesn't require front plates either, and I hope they keep it that way. State even did away with annual inspections years ago because they recognized what a "rip-off" they were becoming. However, you should see what is driving around once in awhile down here!!! Cops can still pull you over & issue a citation for having a car with major issues.

 

Florida doesn't really care what you put on the front of your car but a cop got upset when I didn't take my Texas plate off the front.
