In some areas, penalties can include fines upwards of $200! Plus, you might end up with points on your license. Definitely not worth it!

Hey, has anyone tried using custom mounting brackets? I am curious about those options, especially if they comply legally.
I once attached a plate to my trailer using zip ties just to see, with mixed results! Never got pulled over, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you want to stay legal.
It’s crazy how something as simple as a license plate can lead to so many rules! I suppose it’s all for safety, but it can feel overwhelming at times.

I’ve had great luck with the Ultimate Trailer License Plate Mounting Kit. It’s super durable and the installation was a breeze. Highly recommend it!
I second that! I’ve been using it for over a year and no issues at all. Definitely worth the investment!

Check out the adjustable bracket options. They offer versatility for different trailer designs. Have used one for my boat trailer, and it worked perfectly.
Which brands do you recommend? I’m looking for something sturdy for a heavy-duty trailer.
I’ve got a cheap plastic one that has snapped twice. Lesson learned—cheap isn’t always better. Spend a little more for quality.

Ouch! Durability is key. Anyone tried the metal mounts? Are they worth the money?
I love the metal license plate mount! It’s rugged and holds up against bad weather. Installation was straightforward too.

Not to rain on the parade, but don’t forget to follow your local regulations for mounting. I’ve heard some folks getting ticketed due to improper placement.

That’s a great point! I didn’t think about that. What are some common mistakes to avoid?
Make sure it’s visible from the rear. I once saw a guy who had his license plate hidden by a spare tire—yikes!

That’s hilarious! Did he get pulled over? I can imagine the cop’s reaction!
