    Although it would only keep you from getting a ticket, while the above would "help" everyone, this doesn't obscure your license plate.

    Tape to the left of the license plate:

    This car appears to have a gasket problem...
    Which gasket you ask?
    The one between the seat and the steering wheel.

      no - you can see the reg plate bottom centre - it's a european registered car - the blue strip on the left of the plate has the country of registrations short letter code in there - I think it's says PL so Poland.

    but never looked up the law. I'm wondering if my state has a law that states I MUST have the tag in the 'normal' location. I wonder if it's legal to move it off to the side, and add a some several other placards that look like they might be out of state tags..

    Just a sure fire way to get pulled over I suppose.
