I had a nieghbor that put the paper plates back on every time his registration expired or he didn't pay his insurance.New California law since people were leaving their dealer paper plates on for months or even years
No more running the toll roads for free.
Fun fact, it is not the actual plate number you will be ultimately be provided.... only in California, lol.
New requirement as of January 1 All new cars will get them They have the vin and an experition date on them and can be run to get the registered owner info
The sole reason they did this per my GM dealership. I've got them on my new truck and hate them. I wish they would just give you your actual plates at the dealership and not have to deal with a fucking post it note style plate.

Cops aren’t pulling anyone over !!!AZ has been doing this for as long as I can remember. I am glad CA is doing it. It helps keep people from driving like jerks, evading tolls, not paying reg fees and hit-n-runs. I can't believe some people are still running the dealer plates. If I was a cop, I would be pulling everyone over who with "dealer" plates since dealerships stopped issuing them a long time ago. LOL
Wow! How dumb is that? I guess the DMV's logic is that they create more jobs by making the process more difficult and lengthy.
Law went into effect as of Jan 1st but there was a grace period of 90 days for everyone to get their shit together. This is the reason you are seeing them on every Car now. Biggest problem is.... all cars leaving the dealership have to have them on the front bumper too. Well, a lot of high end buyers don’t want their front bumpers drilled. An alternative was to put a plate mount on the tow hook attachment. The problem with that is all the sensors the new cars have installed in the front bumper. The plate obstruction makes them not work and get error messages.

The dealer I bought my 2017 Focus from didn’t mount the front license plate bracket. It wasn’t in the trunk, and a follow-up netted me nothing. Now I have to spend $60 for the stupid bracket to have just in case.
No different than it was before with the paper temporary taped to the windshield. Those had sequential numbers on them that had zero association to the eventual plate number too.
Difference being that now with the new temp plates the cops don't need to pull you over to check.
Did they have you sign an acknowledgement regarding leaving the Calif required front plate off at your request and that you have been provided with the necessary hardware to do so if you choose to install it at a later date?
No?

Ooopsie
