I wouldn’t do it. But that’s me, why open yourself up to potential problems?

Put a "The Villages" plate on the front and watch people get out of your way when they see you coming! 😀😀😀

Trooper Steve says you can have whatever you want on the front including an out of state plate

GREAT! Now I can keep an eye on the mother-in-law and not have to listen to her.

Why chance it?? I have a front plate bracket on the car I shipped from WA. On that car I put a “beach” plate.

That photo is outrageous! I can see you getting arrested immediately if you put that on!

I've seen some Stars & Bars plates on the front of vehicles. They seem to be more common in Georgia than down here.

The answer is yes you can. Can you have another states license on your front bumper in the other 49 states? Don't know.

FSS 316.605 mandates "No license plates other than those furnished by the state shall be used."

Wonder how a second "state" plate (not a Buccaneers, The Villages, or Rays plate) is not a violation? I always thought you could always only one "state" plate on a vehicle.

Can I put an "old" (expired) Pennsylvania plate on my car?

Anybody have any tickets for misuse of plate?

I believe that refers to only the official plate section, the back area of the car, in Florida.
