IN RIGHT PLACE
Motorists who place their new license plates in an improper manner on their cars are going to be liable to arrest in the near future, according to a warning just issued by the safety bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California.
There is a right and wrong way to mount the plates, and those following the wrong method are going to get themselves into a pack of trouble, according to the warning.
Do not allow the license plate to be obscured in any manner, says the Auto club advice. For instance, be careful that the front bumper does not hide the plate. This is a common occurrence and places the motorist in a ticklish position with the law.
Do not allow the license plate to become dirty or defaced so that it cannot be readily observed.

AUTO CLUB WARNS
Do not let the spare tire conceal any part of the plate.
Be sure that the rear light of the car shines fully upon the license plate. This is important, warns the club, through its safety bureau.
Crank handles often obscure a portion of the license number and this must be guarded against.
Remember that the license plate has to be sixteen inches above the surface of the road.
Do not allow the extra tire rack to conceal any part of the plate.
For any of these violations the motorist is liable to immediate arrest. According to word received by the Auto club, all city, county and state police officers will be watching out from now on for these various evasions of the law. Look over your license plates now, Mr. Motorist, and avoid trouble.
