License plates are an essential element to be able to move freely on the roads. This is the case all over the world, although in some regions it is allowed to travel without prior registration. In Poland, “two pages” are mandatory equipment for a car and there are no exceptions to this.
Even manufacturers don’t like license plates.
However, often, for aesthetic reasons, car owners do not wear them or instead of the one received at the office, they stick a small sticker with the numbers assigned to the car. This is because some cars do not have space for license plates in the front, and there may be parts of the body below that the driver wants to show. A great example of this is Alfa Romeo, whose cars usually have space for the license plate on the left side. This is because it would cover the distinctive grille in the middle, a very important element in the style of the Italian car. There, you can see that there is a place for the license plate because it should be there, but the designers prefer not to put it at all.

Without a single license plate, you could end up in a tow truck.
However, the police in Poland check this element, and its absence can easily attract the attention of uniformed officers. An example is the young BMW owner from the municipality of Krzykosy who drove his car without a front plate. In Środa Wielkopolska, he was stopped for this simple but conscious mistake.
The car had a clearly modified front bumper and the owner probably didn’t want the appearance of the car to be spoiled by the license plate. However, the law is unforgiving, so he received a fine of 200 PLN for the missing front “plate”. Officers could even take the registration certificate from the BMW, but during the inspection the young owner went to the store and bought a frame, which he then put together with the license plate on the front of the car. This is also evidence that its absence was not accidental, the driver simply didn’t want it there.
The owner of a BMW can still call himself lucky, because according to police officers from Środa Wielkopolska, the penalty for not having at least one license plate is a fine of up to PLN 3,000. zloty. The police point out that this is not an isolated case. Car owners often claim ignorance of the regulations or aesthetic issues. Unfortunately for them, Art. 60 clearly states that the car must have a front and rear license plate.
Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
