License Plate Frames Illegal in NJ

We see them all the time on the road; it is a great way to advertise a car dealership, a cause, or how much you love your dog. Unfortunately, they can also get you a traffic ticket.  What are they?  License plate frames!  Under New Jersey law a motorist cannot "display unclear or indistinct license plates." This applies to both the front and rear plates on a vehicle.  Although it is far from a serious offense, it is a nuisance, as it carries a $54 fine (plus $33 in court costs). It is something that you should address right away. If you have one of these frames, grab a screwdriver, go out to your driveway, and remove them. The $87 you save may be your own.
