Drivers in North Carolina who cover parts of their license plates could face tickets and fines under a new state law that goes into effect next month.
The law, passed by the N.C. legislature this year, requires that the state's name, year and month registration stickers be fully visible. Previously, they could be partially covered by license plate frames.
The measure was supported by law enforcement officials, who say it will make reading registration information and identifying vehicles easier in North Carolina.
Starting Dec. 1, drivers can be cited for an infraction if they cover the state name or registration stickers
Fines don't kick in until Dec. 2010, when the citations will start carrying a $100 penalty.
