It only goes to show when people can no longer discriminate on the grounds of race, religion, or sexual orientation, they can improvise and still find someone to hate. - Dave Moulton

Wouldn't be as funny now that it's hyped (and POS edited his thread title).
I'm not surprised though... Sammm seems to have something against me lately![]()

Fabulus - looks just like mine - except your's is shiny and pretty!
How long have you been able to get away with driving without a front license plate - I'm thinking about taking mine off when I get it repainted
I have never had one on any of my cars and have gotten away without a ticket for 14 years.
I did get pulled over once but was given a written warning.
The thing is cops see that as an opprotunity to stop you if you look like a good traffic stop canidate.
I also wave at the cops when he passes... I have seen their eyes drift when I do that. :)
Anyway if you look half way respectable or your car isn't falling apart you will probably be fine.
However when you enter into small town USA all bets are off. Those cops may see it as a revenue generator.
Not to hijack this thread - looks like I already did - sorry.
But
Did notice in our parking lot today that there were a lot of cars without a front license plate, and upon inquiry a couple of folks said that in Texas a front plate is no longer required!
Could that really be true?
Nice thread jack!
I've heard rumors of rule changes on this, but nothing concrete. I've also been pulled over and given both written and verbal warnings for no front plate, but I've never received a proper ticket. True to form, the only times I've been hassled for it, I was passing through/near small towns and got snagged by State Troopers.
I did run a front plate on my Miata for a few months, until I got the front end painted. I figure if I get pulled over, I'll just keep milking the "I don't have a bracket for it" line and keep the front plate in the trunk.
