In Michigan, there is just one license plate on the back of the car
(none on the front). I believe that the requirement to not back into a
parking spot has to do with the visibility of the plate. Imagine that
if the parking space was next to a wall and a car backed up all the
way, it would be impossible to read the plate number.
