I am finally legal

Fifteen years ago I purchased my first minivan.  We bought it used off of a private owner.  Because the previous owner had originally purchased it out of state, there was no front license plate bracket.  That was not legal in Ohio, but I never did anything about it.  Generally speaking I knew that I wasn't going to get pulled over just for that.  Almost seven years later, we purchased our next mini-van, also used, but this time from a dealer.  We realized that it didn't have a front bracket either!  We never did anything about it either.  Last year we traded that van in on our used C-RV, which we also purchased from a dealer.  Many Hondas are made right here in Ohio, but lo and behold there was no front bracket on this vehicle either!  Finally a year ago, Ohio passed a law that the front bracket would no longer be required, but it wasn't going to go in effect until July 1 of this year.  Finally, the day has arrived.  After fifteen years, my vehicle is legal again!
