The city council in Jacksonville, Florida, has taken up a proposal that, if approved, would make it illegal for residents to park their cars in any manner that prevents law enforcement from seeing their rear license plates from the street.
For those who live in single-family homes with off-street parking, such a law would make backing into the driveway to park an illegal act. Florida is among a handful of states that dont require car owners to display license plates at the front of their cars.
The proposed local bill would also require people who use car covers to figure out a way to make the license plates of covered cars similarly visible.

I hate it when people back into parking spaces.

There are some city council members who need to be replaced if this is the case.

I hate it when people back into parking spaces.I hate it when people chew gum in public. I say we should pass a law to ban it.

If your car is in the garage, no one can see the license plate. So what is the difference?

If a car is on private property it is of no business of anyone. Your car only needs tags if it is on a public road.

Backing in is sometimes much safer than trying to back out. That is why many do it. And you have a problem with that?

I retired from a major chemical company, who required everyone to back into the parking places. Why? If there was an explosion or plant emergency, you were heading in the right direction to exit the plant.

It’s not a blight if you can’t see the car.

Backing in is easier and safer for the skilled autopilot. Especially for long p/u trucks.

They do that in a lot of public housing (ghetto) buildings. They have signs that you can’t back into parking spaces.
To: Tax-chick
We put one in a few years ago.
Love it and it has been very practical.

Do you have to leave your garage door open too?
