No front plate violation falls under which statute?

No front plate violation falls under which statute?

• A. 14-299
• B. 22a-250a
• C. 53a-167a
• D. 14-18a

Answer: (D)

The rule being tested is which part of the law covers how license plates must be displayed. A front plate violation is a vehicle equipment/traffic issue, not a criminal charge or something environmental or miscellaneous. The statute that directly addresses license plate display and the penalties for not showing a plate is the one that applies. That’s why the correct reference is the provision specifically about license plates. The other statutes cover areas unrelated to license plate display, so they aren’t the source for a front plate violation. In short, not having a front license plate is governed by the license-plate display statute, which is the one identified.
