I find it a bit weird that most areas in the USA do not require two sets of plates. all my country is 2 plates. I think Europe is also 2 plates per car.
Out of curiosity, does the license plate come with the car, or is it registered to a person? Over here, the plate goes with the car. Every time you get a new car, you get a new plate, because the old plate goes with the car you got rid of. But in the US, they are registered to a person, so you just keep renewing, and a lot of people get vanity plates to show off their interests or professions. How does it work in Mexico?

In Maryland, it's tied to the vehicle, but you can transfer in between vehicles. The vehicle is then registered to the owner.

So my parents moved their Orioles license plate between vehicles since it cost like $50, but then my mom ran a red light, and the vehicle is registered to my dad, so he got the ticket in the mail (red light camera). Since those are civil offenses and don't go on your record, he just paid it, but she got an earful. 🤣

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.

Here is depends on the state. Maryland requires front and rear plates. Which is fine because my bike rack blocks my rear plate, but since I have my front plate visible, it's all good (there's no good way to display it in the back window otherwise I'd do that too).
If the bike rack obscures the rear plate or lights we have to have a "trailer board" with lights and plate on the bike rack.

Our regular plates are yellow, but if we have a trailer or bike rack or anything obscuring the plate, we have to have a matching one, in white, on that. And it has to have the same number as the one for your car, so you can't lend out the trailer to someone else. Or maybe they just have to have their own plates to put on? I'm not sure, but I know it's illegal to pull the trailer or anything if the plate doesn't match. And you can't just write out the number on a piece of wood or cardboard and attach it. It has to be an actual plate.
