A state senator wishes to introduce legislation that would require PA license plates on the front of the vehicle as well as the back.
Democrat Senator Katie Muth has posted a memo saying that she will introduce the bill in the near future. She said that in many hit-and-run accidents, traffic accidents or crimes, only the front of the car is caught on security cameras or seen by witnesses. She feels that requiring a license plate on the front of the car will improve vehicle identification and enhance public safety by helping law enforcement officials, witnesses or cameras more easily and quickly identify a vehicle.
Right now, 29 other states require license plates on both the front and back of vehicles, including New York, Maryland, and Virginia.
