Just wondering if there is any truth to this statement I read online.
If it is legit< I am ripping off my shit asap, custom plate, MGW frame and all :rockon:

No front plate effective Sept. 1st???
- Thread starter VENOMOUS 10TH
- Start date
I thought it was true, but I've read where that may not be the case. I would also like to know. BTW I don't have a front plate on my Cobra. :-D
I have never had a front plate on any of my cars.

The one Mustang I did'nt have one on I was pulled over constantly for not having it. Gave me a warning twice and said that I would get a citation next time.
I just read that it passed through the house but did not pass through the senate. Damn! Hell I might take the biotch off anyways :rockon:
They can lick my balls, I'll never have a plate bolted to the front of my truck. If anything, I'll do what I did with my Camaro after being hassled about it: suction cup it to the lower passenger side windshield.
I don't have one on 2 of 3 vehicles I own. The law states it must be on the forward most part of the vehicle (know a few guys who ran them on the dash/windsheild and got tickets/warnings before).
Maybe I should mount mine below the bumper cover on a hinged mount that's always folded up (and out of the way) and if i get stop I'll say I do have a plate and get out and go swing it down. Make up something about going over a speedbump must of pushed it up or something.

Statute doesn't specify "forward most" just states "Front"

I have to agree with this. After getting hassled continuously about not having a front plate on my Camaro, they said it was fine to put it in the windshield. "As long as it's visible" is all they cared about.
I got pulled over for speeding a few nights ago. He did not give me a warning or ticket for the missing plate (it was under my seat), just told me to put it in the front window because his buddy was a few miles down the road and liked to write tickets for no plate.Sinister04L said:
On a side note, the cop was really nice and wrote me up for only 20 over. :banana:

Only been hastled for it one time and got a warning. I drive by them all the time these days and they usually have more important things to do.

I was long overdue for a ticket...lol! I'm counting my blessings that the cop was nice and wrote me a ticket I can take DD for.03SonicSnake said:
The car is sick!!! 614/544 SAE, 17* timing, 18psi, heatsoaked and all! Drivability is better than stock. The guys at HPP did a fantastic job. :beer:

There are always going to be asshole cops out there somewhere looking to find ANYthing to get you for. Most of them are cool and don't give a shit about a front plate. I'll take my chances.
