License Plate Violations

Safe Streets Louisville has been asking the mayor's office for greater enforcement efforts ensuring that motor vehicle licence plates are legible. Obscured licence plates encourage irresponsible driving. To date (4 March 2007) we have not had a positive response from Metro. In the meantime drivers continue to hit and run. The most recent hit and run was by a vehicle with a film over the license plate (below). When are the Mayor and Chief of Police going enforce laws to make our streets safer?

The following LINK TO PICTURES OF LICENSE PLATE VIOLATIONS also includes the Kentucky law regulating car registration plates. These pictures were taken in a two block area taken over a period of five minutes. Louisville clearly has a problem. The license plate is the first step in driver accountability. We need Metro to enforce the registration plate law.
