Facepalm. Put the stickers on the wrong sides

In California I always allowed three to five hours at the DMV. It would take 30 minutes just to get to the front of the first line to get a number like H967. Then I would sit down and start killing the hours until my number was called. Then there were additional lines to wait in at each step of the process. Here in Oregon the wait is usually not more than 5 minutes. Even to take a test you are out of the office in 30 - 45 minutes.

Here in Oregon drivers are supposed to do one of the following:

1. Return old license plates to a DMV office in person.
2. Mail them to the DMV headquarters.
3. Put them in an aluminum recycling bin at a recycling center.

Personally I would recommend none of the above, and instead sell them to a collector. They are worth about $10 on eBay.

Oregon doesn't care about regular plates, but Maryland does.

I don't think it matters. Not sure if the VC mentions stickers being on a specific side, just that they be on the plate. Obviously you can't obscure plate numbers and such, but as long as they are both present, you should be fine. It doesn't affect whether an officer can read or see the sticker, so there wouldn't seem to be any basis for a violation of law. What is the harm, and who is the victim of doing this?

If I were cited, that'd be my defense, anyway.
