No front plate for the last 11 years. Thats 5.5 yrs. on my TransAm and 5.5 yrs. on my S. No hassles from police (Knock on wood)

 

I haven't used a front plate on any of my cars for the last 9 years. I've never had a problem. You just need to remember to put it back on before the annual state inspection. I'm in Massachusetts.

I think there is a $35 fine with no points in Massachusetts for no front plate. I justify the risk by comparing it to the increased risk of a laser ticket with the plate on. Front plates are great laser reflectors.

 

i got pulled over for my plate being really dirty. cop said he couldnt read it.

 

Got stopped for speeding about a month ago (80 in a 70). Gave me a warning for not signalling a lane change and no front plate.

 

good day:
i think it all depends on where you live .here in ny /nj we are required to have them yet there are local police whoneed to write tickets for that
to keep the money flow .i leave in long island and have it on .near me are the Foral park police and they have a rep towrite for most anything .

Never had a plate on mine.
Only got ticketed for plate once in LA while i was at an expired meter. I think cuz my car is stock looking, they wont pull me over for that.

I remember i was in a drive thru and two cops saw the front of my car and started walking over after getting their grub. I wasn't too thrilled. But they came up and started asking about the car and gave thumbs up. Who knows, maybe they like it??

 

Thanks for all the comments guys. I guess I am not as lucky as others, maybe because I live in San Diego.


To answer your question the rims are nippon f-2's(discontinued), I guess they are fake spoons as they look just like them.....LOL! They were the only flat black rims I could find without the spoon price tag.

 

San Diego seems to be pretty strict about the front license plate law. A cop made a u-turn to pull me over for not having a front plate on my NSX. Also got a fix-it ticket for not having a front plate on my Miata while parked back while I was in high school. I have front license plates on all of the cars now since it's such a hassle to be stopped.

 

1 year strong here in ohio and no issues! (knock on wood)
