so , some debate over the issue of side mounted license plate mounted vertically. There seem to be an issue with the law and the application of it.
The law says you can mount your license plate vertically IF you also have a prepaid toll pass on the bike.
Looking into this though and after speaking to several inebriated Harley riders at the local dive , it seems that our friends in uniform are pretty vague on this and if pulled over saying ‘nope must be horizontal’
Any of you have experience of this? I’m about to install a customer rear fender and like the neatness of the plate being side mounted vertically but not at the cost of being pulled over to have to debate this law all the time.
Here is the section relating to the law on this:
The license tag of a motorcycle or moped may be affixed horizontally to the ground so that the numbers and letters read from left to right. Alternatively, a license tag for a motorcycle or moped for which the numbers and letters read from top to bottom may be affixed perpendicularly to the ground, provided that the registered owner of the motorcycle or moped maintains a prepaid toll account in good standing and a transponder associated with the prepaid toll account is affixed to the motorcycle or moped.
In Simple Terms: You can have a Vertical License Plate on your motorcycle if you have a toll transponder affixed to the motorcycle and a pre-paid toll account in good standing.
