Easiest way to find out if a vertical side mount license plate holder is legal in PA?

Thanks

The VC should have that. In CA, it's online and you can search "license" and "plate"

 

You could always call the dealership..

Found it. Section 1332 (will try to paste) See 1332(b)(3). Could be contrued as being obscured. Ask a cop.

§ 1332. Display of registration plate.
(a) General rule.--Every registration plate shall, at all times, be securely fastened to the vehicle
to which it is assigned or on which its use is authorized in accordance with regulations promulgated by
the department.
(b) Obscuring plate.--It is unlawful to display on any vehicle a registration plate which:
(1) is so dirty as to prevent the reading of the number or letters thereon at a
reasonable distance;
(2) is obscured in any manner which inhibits the proper operation of an automated
red light enforcement system in place pursuant to section 3116 (relating to automated red light
enforcement systems in first class cities); or
(3) is otherwise illegible at a reasonable distance or is obscured in any manner.
(c) Penalty for obscured plate.--Any person who violates subsection (b)(2) commits a summary
offense and shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of $100.

 

Maybe not the *best* way, but certainly the *easiest* way is to do it, then wait to see if a cop stops to talk to you about it.
