Is it illegal to have a vertical motorcycle license plate in Arkansas?

Answer 1

Yes, it must be legible and readable in a normal configuration. Vertical and sideways letters and numbers are NOT normal.

Well my DeKalb Co. cop buddy said yes, but they rarely ever enforce it.

However if you read the GA code, it's not that clear on the subject.
