Front Plate

[Kenny Boxster]

I don't sport a front plate and haven't gotten any flack for doing so. Drove by countless police with no problems. Took mine off in 2012 when they accidentally omitted the rule, but cannot say if it is still like that now we're in 2013. I abhor front plates.

They are obscene and grotesque.

I would rather see a Red Sox/Patriots flag pinned to the back bumper.

They didn't omit the rule. The Texas Legislature forgot to specify the punishment. It used to be a class C misdemeanor in Texas (up to $200 fine). The type of misdemeanor determines what court holds jurisdiction. Without a clearly defined punishment range, they can't determine what level of offense has been committed. I have my front plate on a tow hook license frame under the front seat ready for quick install if needed.

Here in the all the UK it is law to have a front & rear number plates and everyone and I mean everyone has them fitted, you wouldn't get 2 miles without being stopped and booked by our nice police patrol man over here, we do make adjustment to them and you can even be booked for that. my number plate is illegal because the number 6 isn't in the correct place it reads:- S 6UVS


Only my front number plate is spaced out this way, it should read:- S6 UVS



As my rear number plate is, my theory is if Plod (nick name for our police) are following me, they have time to look at my number plate and can see that it is correctly spaced out and quite legal, so he shouldn't stop me as long as I'm not doing anything else illegal, however not so worried about the front number plate as if Plod are coming towards me, 9 times out of 10 they are responding to a call and can't be arsed to turn around and chase me and give me a minor ticked for a number plate violation. not been stoped in 2 years of ownership.

But there as some that are just asking to be stopped lol.

Just a warning for any UK members considering changing their number plate in this way, it is now an automatic MOT failure.
