Lest everyone think you have a monopoly on completely incomprehensible laws in the UK, we have similarly confusing plate laws here in the US. Two years back here in Texas, they resubmitted a law to ensure it was clear that cars had to have both front and back plates; however, in the process forgot to impose a penalty. So now you can be ticketed for not having a front plate, but never pay a fine.
I can live with that. I still don't have a front plate on my car. (I still haven't purchased my M3W, but give me time.).
The Texas Legislature only meets every two years. This year they were supposed to correct that, but one house submitted a bill to completely abolish front plates and the other house didn't pass it, so it will ride for another two years.
