Front license plate sucks

[HeavyAssault]

The best answer is to study your state law, if not print out the EXACT language. Some language may be vague enough to argue...some states give decent specifics as in "placed on the front of vehicle".

I've seen plenty get tickets with the plate on the dash....cops just laugh and write out the "no front tag" permit.

Texas here.
I've had 3 tickets for no front plate with in 8 months traveling to New Mexico through a small hick town.
Same cop each time. $150 a pop.

I bought the Swarfworks tow hook plate bracket for when I drive that way again.
three small bolts to place it on and remove.

3 tickets in 8 months, "$150 a pop"... what in the hell is wrong with you, I guess third time is a charm.

I ran the plate on my 04 sti zip tied to the passenger sun visor with it flipped down. It was visible through the windshield. I had one ******** cop pull me over in upstate ny, it was just an excuse to pull me over. He then wrote me a ticket for a modified muffler system. When I get my SVC bumper on this spring it will go on the skid plate with 3M double sided tape, had same setup on my gen1.

Most states actually regulate how plates are to be displayed in the front. I don’t live in New York, but I looked up the statute. It says the plate has to be between 12-48 inches from the ground. So having it on a windshield or a visor is the same as not having it at all.

Also, it says that “plates shall be kept clean and in a condition so as to be easily readable ... the view of such number plates shall not be obstructed by any part of the vehicle...” Having a plate that is mounted under your front bumper pointing down is probably not easily readable.

My point is, mount front a plate or don’t mount it. But if you get caught breaking the law, own it. It’s not the cop’s fault.

It's my money isn't it?
So, if you want to know my brother and I were hopising my father.
I found it more important to make sure my father had the best end of life he possibly could. A front license was not a priority.
Now was it?

Front plates are a waste of money. They could charge the same fee but only provide 1 plate. Bam, money saved by the state to spend on some other B.S.

NO... it was your money, it's the states now but that a cool story bro, I couldn't care less as to why you and your brother
chose to break a simple asinine law several times before deciding to comply. just sounds like a complete moron to me.

Well you just proved whose the ass!

Here in NY you have to have one if you plan to cross a bridge or tunnel. Had to have my bumper custom fitted to work.

I think the offset front plate looks terrible. There has to be a better way to do it. Offset just looks like an afterthought... Like zip tied to the front grill.

Blocks sensors too

Just take it off already....REAL police officers don’t hand out tickets for front plate violators. We use that type of violation for probable cause to stop the criminals....not the average citizen
