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...
It sounds like maybe you’re talking about the registration decal when you say “tag”.
Virginia requires them on both front and rear plates.
Yeah maybe it's me but I've never heard someone call a licence plate a tag before...
I don’t think it’s just you, but I’d never heard someone refer to the registration decal as a tag before you.
I asked ChatGPT in the most neutral way I could think what “tag” meant in relation to motor vehicles just to get an aggregate perspective on what the internet at large says and it turns out both are definitely common:
I wonder if it’s geographic or what. Its odd to me that we both had only encountered one usage and it was the opposite
Well that could explain a lot of what is so confusing at least to me...
