Is this legal? And if it is, why would anyone do it in the first place?
I was on my way to work this morning, and I was behind one of those taxi van things. This thing had a Maryland plate on it, but below that, someone had attached a second plate. They had folded/manipulated it in a way that you couldn't read the numbers unless you were right up behind it, and the only thing you could see at a distance was the "For Hire" text at the bottom. It was a little hard to make out, but it looked like a Virginia taxi/limo plate to me. The Maryland one was a regular one (not a For-Hire plate). The company that owned the van is a pretty decent-sized one, not what I would consider a shady, questionable company.
