Universal Citation: AL Admin Code R 810-5-1-.204
Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 11, August 30, 2024
(1) Section 32-6-51, Code of Ala. 1975, requires that license plates be attached on the rear of a motor vehicle. Due to the configuration and use of certain vehicles, placement of license plates in this manner is not practical. Therefore, license plates shall be displayed on the front of the following types of motor vehicles:
(a) Truck tractors
as defined in Section
40-12-240
(b) Certain trucks as defined in
Section
40-12-240 with the exception of self-propelled campers or house cars commonly referred to
as motor homes. License plates may be displayed on the front of trucks when:
1. The license plate is rendered difficult to
read because of the truck bumpers, or truck lift or other permanent
obstruction.
2. The license plate
is subject to being bent, defaced, mutilated because of the commodity hauled or
the use made of the truck.
3. The
license plate is subject to being covered with dirt, chemicals, etc., because
of vehicle design or use (i.e. dump trucks, trash or garbage trucks).
