Vertical side mount license plates legal in Pa.?
Does anyone know if verticalside mount plates are legal in Pa? I love the look, but I would hate to get pulled over for this, especially after a few cocktails. Know what I mean?

According to the PA Vehicle Code (Title 75)
§ 1332. Display of registration plate.
[blockquote]
(a) General rule.--Every registration plate shall, at all times, be securely fastened to the vehicle to which it is assigned or on which its use is authorized in accordance with regulations promulgated by the department.
(b) Obscuring plate.--It is unlawful to display on any vehicle a registration plate which is so dirty as to prevent the reading of the number or letters thereon at a reasonable distance or is otherwise illegible at a reasonable distance or is obscured in any manner.
Looks like you are good to go.[/blockquote]

Not legal just finished a custom build with the brother-in-law and when we went to get a title the inspection station failed it for a vertical plate.
You certainly can do it but it might get ya pulled over by the guy with a badge and a chip on his shoulder!!!
