Front Licence plates (AZ)
I live in the AZ phoenix area. And as I have been playing this game for the past few months I have noticed that cars with AZ licence plates have front bumper licence plates. Although in reality Arizona cars are only required to have a licence plate in the back. Very rarely are there plates on the front. The only case with a front license plate is with a personalized plate. However this does not apply to semi trucks. Semi trucks are required to have front plates.

List of States with no front plate

Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Arizona, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and West Virginia are additional states that don't have the front license plate.


I would love to see this small detail fix a lot of the reality inaccuracies to the game.

The key word in that... post, is required. Just because a state does not require a feature does not mean vehicle manufacturers are going to alter their designs. And ALL state DMVs will issue a second plate for front-use, you just have to ask.
The only thing even close to being an exception is California, who sets the standards for all vehicles on US roads.

So, at the risk of appearing to "speak for the Devs," No, nothing is going to be altered because there is nothing "inaccurate."

According to what he said, he LIVES in Arizona, he would know whether most cars have front plates or not. If what he said is correct (and by the way, it is) then MOST (not all) cars in Arizona should not have front plates because that is like real life.

Here is more proof providing the front plates. [/url]{LINK REMOVED}

I did not say he is incorrect about the requirement of plates. I pointed out that just because it's not required, does not mean nobody does it. It is personal preference of the person registering the vehicle. Where he lives is relevant to exactly nothing.

Since it is personal preference, and the Devs dictate the preference of the drivers they've created, they've obviously dictated that those drivers prefer to have the plates.
