Attempts to hide or obscure your license plate are not allowed. California’s new Vehicle Code Section 5201 is cracking down license plate obstruction. Whether it’s painting, covering, or using a device to block the view of your plate, think again! If you cannot see your license plate from the naked eye or through electronic means, you are in violation of the law. If caught, you’ll face a fine of $250 for each violation, which will likely make you rethink that plate cover or paint. Your license plate needs to remain free from obstruction – no trying to dodge the rules of the road.
