It's such a stupid law when you consider they allow motorcycles on the road and they don't have doors.

I got a warning for no plate on my front, due to being in the middle of a stubby build, and was told that it is twice the fine to have the plate displayed in the window. To my understanding the plate just has to be clearly visible on the from the front of the vehicle, am I wrong?? So confused:/.
Attachment of number plates
3.011 Number plates issued for a vehicle under the Commercial Transport Act or Motor Vehicle Act must be attached
(a) one plate to the front and one plate to the rear of the vehicle, if 2 number plates are issued for a vehicle, and
(b) to the rear of the vehicle, if a single number plate is issued for a vehicle.
