Currently the Commonwealth of Virginia requires vehicles to have a front and rear license plate.  Only producing a rear plate would create a reduction of the cost and materials used.  Helping to keep money in the pockets of Virginians in a time when every dollar counts.  Reduce the amount of time spent by law enforcement officers enforcing this law, and putting that time towards other more serious issues.  The absence does not hinder vehicle safety.  Currently, nineteen states do not require the use of front plates without any issues.  Four of the these states: North Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky border Virginia and have motorists who use Virginia roadways on a daily basis.
