Doing any of these ten things are a violation of the license plate rules in the state of New York and could earn you a license plate ticket and a fine.
There are many laws that are on the books in New York State that involve operating a motor vehicle. The law about hanging things from your rearview mirror seems odd but you could get a ticket if you violate it.
I think we all know by now that it is illegal to leave your car running and unattended in New York state. Section 1210 of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law makes it illegal for a driver to leave a vehicle without stopping the engine, locking the ignition, and removing the key from the car. But that doesn't stop a lot of people in the Capital Region from doing just that. Not only could you get a ticket, but it could also be worse.
If you are visiting New York State Parks this summer, make sure you are obeying the seat belt and car seat laws within the parks. Park Police will be cracking down with their latest campaign.
I've only been pulled over once but the officer was great (though he gave me a ticket) but if I was pulled over for something more serious, I don't think I'd know exactly what my rights are. Do you?
The guy who did this is an absolute genius. Not sure the Albany Po-Po would love it, but man, tell me this wouldn't be fun to try to pull off! A man in Montreal made a lifelike car out of snow and sat back and watched as a police officer attempted to write a ticket for the illegally parked snow mobile.
