VEHICLE CODE
SECTION 5200-5206

5200. (a) When two license plates are issued by the department for
use upon a vehicle, they shall be attached to the vehicle for which
they were issued, one in the front and the other in the rear.
(b) When only one license plate is issued for use upon a vehicle,
it shall be attached to the rear thereof, unless the license plate is
issued for use upon a truck tractor, in which case the license plate
shall be displayed in accordance with Section 4850.5.



5201. (a) License plates shall at all times be securely fastened to
the vehicle for which they are issued so as to prevent the plates
from swinging, shall be mounted in a position so as to be clearly
visible, and so that the characters are upright and display from left
to right, and shall be maintained in a condition so as to be clearly
legible. The rear license plate shall be mounted not less than 12
inches nor more than 60 inches from the ground, and the front license
plate shall be mounted not more than 60 inches from the ground,
except as follows:
(1) The rear license plate on a tow truck or repossessor's tow
vehicle may be mounted on the left-hand side of the mast assembly at
the rear of the cab of the vehicle, not less than 12 inches nor more
than 90 inches from the ground.
(2) The rear license plate on a tank vehicle hauling hazardous
waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, or
asphalt material may be mounted not less than 12 inches nor more than
90 inches from the ground.
(3) The rear license plate on a truck tractor may be mounted at
the rear of the cab of the vehicle, but not less than 12 inches nor
more than 90 inches from the ground.
(4) The rear license plate of a vehicle designed by the
manufacturer for the collection and transportation of garbage,
rubbish, or refuse that is used regularly for the collection and
transportation of that material by a person or governmental entity
employed to collect, transport, and dispose of garbage, rubbish, or
refuse may be mounted not less than 12 inches nor more than 90 inches
from the ground.
(5) The rear license plate on a two-axle livestock trailer may be
mounted 12 inches or more, but not more than 90 inches, from the
ground.

(6) (A) The rear license plate on a dump bed motortruck equipped
with a trailing, load bearing swing axle shall be mounted more than
12 inches, but not more than 107 inches, from the ground.
(B) As used in this section, a trailing, load bearing swing axle
is an axle which can be moved from a raised position to a position
behind the vehicle that allows for the transfer of a portion of the
weight of the vehicle and load to the trailing axle.
(b) A covering shall not be used on license plates except as
follows:
(1) The installation of a cover over a lawfully parked vehicle to
protect it from the weather and the elements does not constitute a
violation of this subdivision. A peace officer or other regularly
salaried employee of a public agency designated to enforce laws,
including local ordinances, relating to the parking of vehicles may
temporarily remove so much of the cover as is necessary to inspect
any license plate, tab, or indicia of registration on a vehicle.
(2) The installation of a license plate security cover is not a
violation of this subdivision if the device does not obstruct or
impair the recognition of the license plate information, including,
but not limited to, the issuing state, license plate number, and
registration tabs, and the cover is limited to the area directly over
the top of the registration tabs. No portion of a license plate
security cover shall rest over the license plate number.
(c) A casing, shield, frame, border, product, or other device that
obstructs or impairs the reading or recognition of a license plate
by an electronic device operated by state or local law enforcement,
an electronic device operated in connection with a toll road,
high-occupancy toll lane, toll bridge, or other toll facility, or a
remote emission sensing device, as specified in Sections 44081 and
44081.6 of the Health and Safety Code, shall not be installed on, or
affixed to, a vehicle.
(d) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that an accommodation
be made to persons with disabilities and to those persons who
regularly transport persons with disabilities, to allow the removal
and relocation of wheelchair lifts and wheelchair carriers without
the necessity of removing and reattaching the vehicle's rear license
plate. Therefore, it is not a violation of this section if the
reading or recognition of a rear license plate is obstructed or
impaired by a wheelchair lift or wheelchair carrier and all of the
following requirements are met:

(A) The owner of the vehicle has been issued a special
identification license plate pursuant to Section 5007, or the person
using the wheelchair that is carried on the vehicle has been issued a
distinguishing placard under Section 22511.55.
(B) (i) The operator of the vehicle displays a decal, designed and
issued by the department, that contains the license plate number
assigned to the vehicle transporting the wheelchair.
(ii) The decal is displayed on the rear window of the vehicle, in
a location determined by the department, in consultation with the
Department of the California Highway Patrol, so as to be clearly
visible to law enforcement.
(2) Notwithstanding any other law, if a decal is displayed
pursuant to this subdivision, the requirements of this code that
require the illumination of the license plate and the license plate
number do not apply.
(3) The department shall adopt regulations governing the
procedures for accepting and approving applications for decals, and
issuing decals, authorized by this subdivision.
(4) This subdivision does not apply to a front license plate.

그러니 뭐 스페셜 차량이 아닌경우는
앞쪽에 홀을 내서라도 번호판을 달아야 한다는 말이죠?
제차가 뭐그리 스페셜한 차두 아니고 그냥 일본차인데
앞에 번호판을 붙이는 홀이 없습니다.
딜러에서 차를 살때 번호판 나오묜 붙혀 준다고 가져오라 했는데
시간이 없어서 못가고 있을때 오일체인지 하면서 물어보니
번호판을 안붙혀도 된다고 해서 질문을 드려 봤습니다.
그냥 일반적인 사람이 일반적인 차를 타고 다닐때는
차량 앞쪽에에 홀을 내서라도 앞뒤로 번호판을 붙혀야만 하는게 맞는거죠?

여기 한번 읽어 보세요.

Roadshow: Ticketed while home in bed for not having a front license plate

주마다 번호판을 앞뒤로 붙이는 주가 잇고 뒤만 붙여도 되는 주가 있어요. 두개를 받으셨으면 앞뒤로 당연히 붙여야 합니다. 저도 뒤만 다는 알칸사에서 살다가 미네소타와서 두개를 주니 앞에 다는 구멍이 없어서 딜러샆에 가서 앞에 달아 달라고 했어요. 혹시 나중에 하나 다는 주로 다시 갈수도 있어서 구멍내지 않고 다는게 있냐고 하니 25불 정도 주고 플레이트 고정장치를 달아주더군요. 딜러샾에 가서 달아달라고 하면 25불에 구멍내지 않고 달아줍니다. 참고하세요.

ㅎㅎㅎㅎ 저도 안달아도 되는줄 알았었는데.......이런 좋은 정보를 다시 배우게 되네요..
감사 합니다,,.
