No Front License Plate In Arkansas, You Could Be Breaking The Law

TRUE? Yes, you could be. Keep reading for the longer version...

Yes, it's true that under normal circumstances the state of Arkansas does not require a front license plate on your passenger vehicle, but (yes, there is a but), there is one condition that would require you to have that front plate mounted and showing on your Arkansas registered vehicle:

From what I understand almost everyone is issued just one plate when registering their vehicle in Arkansas, if that's the case for you, just make sure you display it on the back of your vehicle as described below and you're good to go.

As you can see in the Arkansas Code information below, if you are issued two plates for your vehicle, they must both be secured and displayed, one in the front and one in the back.

For this and more Arkansas State Laws, you will find them listed at Justia.com.

New Automated McDonalds in Ft Worth, Texas Gallery:

The fact is, this McDonalds is not "fully automated", they have a smaller staff working in the kitchen filling the orders, but the counter-person, all-to-often found with a bad attitude, has been eliminated in this dining concept. This new McDonalds is much smaller and has no seating for indoor dining. This is a take-out-only concept with all staff concentrating on getting the orders right. Will it work? We'll see.
