How will the neighbours know you've just spent £40K on a new car
Isn't it something to do with ANPR and speeding issues?
Speed camera vans can zap either the front or back of the car, and obviously need to see the number plate as proof.
So the chances of front number plates being abolished are zero.
Maybe but only 31 of the 50 US states require a front license plate and I am fairly sure they all have camera enforcement for at least some moving violations.This includes some large states such as Florida, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
That said they do require a clear face picture as well, which the UK government has managed to weasel itself out of.
