Blue states only require rear license plates

u/thefuckfacewhisperer 1d ago

Ohio should be blue then

6

u/Rrrrandle 1d ago

Ohio changed a year or two ago, no longer requires front plates.

u/spacemanspiff888 1d ago

As an Ohio resident, I can say with confidence that was over 6 years ago now...

Edit: My most upvoted post on reddit is literally a news article posted to the r/cars sub when it happened.

Way more than a year ago

u/Tommyblockhead20 1d ago

bro never stopped quarantining from Covid and lost their calendar. Or dangerously close to a black hole.

u/Meshable123 1d ago

In all honesty, this map was made for GeoGuessr so it’s probably about 5 years out of date.

u/907anon 1d ago

Alaska should be blue as well

1

u/JDaub088 13h ago

Yeah, changed in 2022, I was given two plates when I registered a car then but only had to put one on.

u/Deinococcaceae 1d ago

The Midwest patchwork is what gave it away for me

1

u/Haunting-Shoulder-59 1d ago

As of January 1,2025 Utah no longer required front plates either

1

u/BugRevolution 1d ago

There's a lot of states missing.

Let me guess, you relied on AI?

1

u/Meshable123 1d ago

AI would never get this right

1

u/BugRevolution 1d ago

...and since it isn't right, seems like you're essentially saying you used AI

1

u/Meshable123 1d ago

It's old its made for geogussr, so it's accurate based on the dates of Google coverage

1

u/Firestyle092300 1d ago

Utah only requires rear now

1

u/ProfileAdventurous60 1d ago

Wait what is the asterisk for then

1

u/Meshable123 1d ago

Special Vehicles need front plates in those states

1

u/Alternative_Dust5027 1d ago

Utah should be blue as well

1

u/PiratedStar 20h ago

Please mark as answered

u/andos4 1d ago

I was thinking the same thing. I recognized the map quickly. However, this map is already outdated.

1

u/Deinococcaceae 1d ago

Which state has changed?

2

u/ferndaddyak 1d ago

Alaska for one

2

u/andos4 1d ago

Ohio, Utah, and Alaska. Those are one plate states now.

2

u/mezolithico 1d ago

Required very different from enforced though

1

u/SisterActTori 1d ago

I have been ticketed in CA for only having a back plate (albeit many years ago).

1

u/mezolithico 1d ago

Totally. I see Teslas everyday with no front plate though.

2

u/CharacterNet9821 1d ago

Blue is states that require only a rear license plate. Green states require both a front and a rear license plate.

2

u/viccityguy2k 1d ago

Fun fact - only three Canadian provinces out of 11 provinces and three territories require front plates. BC, Manitoba and Ontario

1

u/Thin-Masterpiece-441 1d ago

I was having a hard time already and then I saw the asterisks and now I know I don’t know

1

u/Meshable123 1d ago

If you live in one of the blue states it might be even easier 👀

2

u/Hot-Return4542 1d ago

I’ve lived in six of those blue states in the past 9 years and would not have gotten the answer

2

u/Meshable123 1d ago

Tbf if you live there maybe you wouldn’t notice it as much because you’re used to it

1

u/Thin-Masterpiece-441 1d ago

I do, and always have amongst two of em.

1

u/BingBongDingDong222 1d ago

I live in one of the blue states. I saw the answer. I had no idea it was the case in the other states.

1

u/eyetracker 1d ago

Asterisk means you need the front plate if your car comes with a front bracket, but you aren't forced to drill the bumper if it doesn't.

1

u/One_Nectarine3077 1d ago

Fun fact: There's a cop car in Albuquerque, NM, that has a Miami Dolphins decorative plate on the front.

1

u/PM_ME_SOME_LUV 1d ago

Why can’t we all agree on the same plate laws? We’re supposed to be United

1

u/morgandealer 2h ago

We would have to all agree on something else first.

1

u/StarsCHISoxSuperBowl 1d ago

Texas doesn't really enforce if it's what I think it is. Never got pulled over for it.

u/Jijonbreaker 1d ago

I was expecting somebody to comment on the foxhole colors.
