I can't think of a reason for the extra hassle and expense.

Wait, other states don't? I dunno, I live in Mississippi, I always thought the other states did the same. Guess I never really paid that much attention.

If it counts for anything, at least Mississippi doesn't require two tags, one for the back and one for the front, they only require the rear tag.

Also, our vehicles don't require inspections anymore, which is both a bonus for your wallet, and also very frightening when you realize how many vehicles out there are on the verge of brake failure or something equally dangerous.

What state requires a front and rear tag? Seems excessive?

Edit: People in here not understanding the difference between a tag and a license plate

Edit apparently it's common for both to be called tags... Depending where your from... To make this whole thing confusing...

Cars should have both, so they can be uniquely identified both coming and going.

For example when you run over a road pedestrian by not stopping for a red light, as he sees you coming and jumps out of the way he might see your plate, whereas once you’ve run over him, cracked his hips and given him a concussion he may not be able to read your rear plate

Yeah but my question was for tags not plates

[–] AA5B 3 points 1 week ago

I see that was added to the conversation: so weird to have opposite terminology. I’ve always heard “tags” refer to the plates, never the registration sticker
