    up here you dont even get a second plate when you register one it, costs extra, id rather pay for one personnalised plate than 2 plain janes

    when I had my Accord I had no front plate for over 5 years, got stopped a few times, all warnings, but there was a period for 3 years didnt get stopped once. When I had my Accord repainted, I had him repaint over the holes in front, looked much better!

    I got a ticket a couple weeks ago. The dick also ticketed me for not updating my license with the DOL. $224 ticket. I'm fighting it in hopes I can get off on a technicality. If not, I'll at least be nice to the judge and plead down the fine a bit. 4 years with no front plate, and this is the first ticket I get. The cop instantly came up to my car asking me all kinds of questions trying to find every little thing wrong with my car. I didn't even get a chance to be a smartass to him yet. He asked where the 3rd brakelight was in my car, and why I removed it... I was like "dude it's an '84..."

    It was definitely revenue night. I'd never seen so many cops out pulling people over. Signs were posted saying "seatbelt patrols tonight." Seatbelt patrols my ass. Last minute quotas is more like it.

    Re: No front license plate?

    I've been lucky to live in state that didn't require any front plates. At least most of them. Michigan, Arizona, Georgia don't have front plates. I know Cali does. Was a pain to try and get the front plate screws off, due to bugs, the occasional bum and the like. I know in Cali due to the many accidents you better have the front plate. There is too many idiots out there that will rear end you. It's starting to get like that here in Atlanta even with the damn emissions, yet no smog pump yet!!!!!

    Re: No front license plate?

    dmv says that the rear plate has to be between 12" and 60"
    and the front plate has to be 12 or so for california

    but i see a lot of people with no liscense plates so i guess no one cares

    I just picked up a new car from California. Car is a 92 and has never had a front plate on it. Helps though when you're older (80+ years old), cops don't really pull old people over for stuff like that. I'm sure it won't be long before I'm pulled over in this car too.

    That's what I thought, I'm 64 so they won't pull me over...until a couple of months ago. I was, however, driving one of my employees, who is black, on the way to the train station. The cop was sitting on the right side of the road as we went by, so could not see me driving as much as my passenger...draw your own conclusions.

    Re: No front license plate?

    My cobra is from FL, so it never had a front plate, I kept it that way (in NYS now); never had a problem, then again, cops tend to go easy on domestics.

    I've been 'caught' with no front plate, non-updated insurance cards, and no seatbelt, and got a "Get your stuff in order guy! And oh...nice car."
