Default 370H55V License plate

I looked through and couldn't see if this was a repost, but I am jealous for sure



Now my question to the LEOs on this forum, can you be pulled over for having an upside down license plate? Because that just opened up a whole new world of possibilities.

The most extreme I've ever seen a license plate mounted were on bagged trucks that have the plate molded into the tailgate at a 45 degree angle.

Lol. Yes you can. More than likely they will tell you its upside down thinking the person was unaware of it. The camera tickets will still get you anyway. License plates must be easily readable and visible (included lighted at night) at all times. You can even be pulled over for a very dirty and or old one if its hard to read. Its just a fix-it ticket and you can request a new plate at dmv.

Either California DMV doesn't allow it or someone already has it on their car

"Sorry, The plate you have requested is not available."

Yes you can be stopped and cited. I tested this "clarification" with the Redlands PD back in 1988. I did not want to run a front plate on my lowered Toyota (I had to) and I placed it upside down. I got stopped and the officers and I debated the language in the CVC for about 45 minutes with them. I got off without a ticket, but the hassle wasn't worth it.

No idea, I saw this picture on Jalopnik first.

I told myself I needed to see if the Arizona MVD can give me this plate, but when I looked closer, I noticed it was a genius Arizona resident who did it in the first place.

Again, I'm suitably impressed.
