Front License Plate...

**ALTYHOLIC** · Jun 11th, 2003, 03:03 PM

Mr. Popo says you gotta have it
here in Texas. So, how many of you
run with it on your bumper? Dashboard?

Anyone ever received a ticket for not having
one...?

Let's discuss...

I got mine right where it should be.
I know people got tickets for not having them affixed to the bumper (TX).

Haven't had a front license plate for about a year. I've passed many cops, even been pulled over by some (for other reasons), and none of them said anything about it. It might be law, but the ones who aren't bored don't care...imo.

yea i thought that they didn't care if you had it on the front. but it seems that in some places it kinda does matter? iunno depends on cop and city i guess...bellaire and houston cops are pretty different for example.

If your vehicle does not come with a factory mount <i.e. bumper location> for the front license plate, you do not have to put it on. This is what I was told when I got my speeding ticket and almost a no front plate ticket. As long as the cop that wrote me the ticket believes it, so do I

I will do some searching and see what I can come up with....

Yeah, I've been running without one on my SE-R for like
3 years, when all of a sudden I started getting paranoid
and put it back on. The Altima however, has never seen a front plate!

The raised the fine up to $100 now I think...

Yeah, I've often wondered about those Corvettes and
Camero's that don't have a space in the bumper for them...

Not true.
A cop from Houston (d_warner) told us that if you dont have it by default, you better get a mount, or the cop has every right to give tickets.
Just cuz the car manufacturer decided to not put a plate mount doesn't mean its legal everywhere.

If David says it, then I'll believe it... who better to trust than a mod crazy, nissan loving, speed happy, lead footed cop!

Tickwomp · Jun 11th, 2003, 03:46 PM

whoa thats creepy. i didn't know d_warner is a cop. i'll have to look out for him at the meet this weekend

ny98max · Jun 11th, 2003, 03:51 PM

Nah he is cool.

Tickwomp · Jun 11th, 2003, 03:53 PM

i could just see me and him (imagining just a dude) going off the line, then when i pass that speed limit he throws his badge at me and pulls my ass over. it'd be kinda funny yet...kinda not lol.

No front plate holder on my car...and isn't it a 'fix-it' ticket anyway?

I've never gotten any flack for not having one.

I _know_ you didn't just say that you never gotten any flack for not having one
