However, there are bills circulating in the state legislature that would allow cars priced at over $60,000 to only need a rear plate. Time will tell if this is\u00a0passed, but\u00a0shifts in public perception about two plates make it a definite possibility.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-end\" >\n<div id=\"attachment_2455\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2455\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2455 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/181\/2019\/11\/25201705\/traffic-jam-with-rows-of-car_b-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"traffic jam\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/181\/2019\/11\/25201705\/traffic-jam-with-rows-of-car_b-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/181\/2019\/11\/25201705\/traffic-jam-with-rows-of-car_b-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/181\/2019\/11\/25201705\/traffic-jam-with-rows-of-car_b-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/181\/2019\/11\/25201705\/traffic-jam-with-rows-of-car_b-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/181\/2019\/11\/25201705\/traffic-jam-with-rows-of-car_b-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/181\/2019\/11\/25201705\/traffic-jam-with-rows-of-car_b-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2455\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Typical scene during rush hour.

It might be more expensive to get two tags, but it\u2019s much easier for law enforcement officials to identify and detect a vehicle if there\u2019s a plate on both the front and rear of your car. Because of this, locating and tracking a stolen vehicle is a much easier proposition.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .wrc-column-grid --><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carizmalubbock.com\/blog\/used-trucks-at-carizma-motors-in-lubbock-tx\/\"><strong>Check out our selection of used pickup trucks here in Lubbock!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Can you get plates installed on a car at a dealership?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Yes!
