Miami, FL -- (SBWire) -- 06/20/2018 --Although it may not be strictly enforced, a law enforcement officer has the authority to issue a driver a ticket if the license plate frame obscures even a small portion of the tag, such as the MyFlorida.com website found at the top of the tag. Drivers should also know that they are required to keep the sticker in the upper right corner of the vehicle license plate, right next to the MyFlorida.com website address that must remain unobscured. The majority of modern license plates have an indentation in the corner that serves as something of a reinforcement or reminder to drivers regarding where the sticker should be placed.
Despite this, there are drivers that may decide to place the stickers in other spots of the license plate. In fact, there are drivers that place several stickers in different spots on the plate, displaying the large number of stickers the vehicle has accumulated. This can be confusing and it may also be illegal, possibly resulting in a ticket being issued. Failure to place the sticker in the proper spot may end up with the driver having to buy a new registration sticker.
