Front Plate

[derb]

I just got pulled over two days ago here in Loudoun County, Virginia. I wasn't speeding but accelerated away from a right-on-red stop light. Apparently the accelerating got his attention and then he noticed the missing tag. No mention of speeding. I told him the reason for no tag was that I had the bumper painted recently (2 years ago) and lost the screws (true).
He gave me a warning.
Sadly, I will put the license plate back on. After two warnings in 7 months (Cayenne now sporting a front tag) I don't want to push my luck.

I do have a front plate. To me going without's not worth the potential hassle. All I need is to be stopped after dinner & one too many drinks, the I'm in to a DUI. I did make it less obvious by using a low profile body-colored frame, trimming down the plate, and painting the outer edge black.

It's usually a fix-it-ticket. Wait till you get a ticket that requires you to mount the plate to avoid the fine of approximately $30.

Ah, good ol' Virginia..lived there 4 years (UVa) and loved it dearly, but they're not so nice when it comes to traffic laws and regulations. Hell, I'd have to sell my Valentine if I ever moved back! The deck is so stacked against the driver! Hardly seems fair..

For eleven years I had a YOM ( year of manufacture ) plate on my 190SL
-1958 and nobody said anything including the border guards.

For the Boxster I took my front plate to a sign place and had them scan the plate and make me a 4" X 8" vinyl stick on sign . It's been on for two years
most people don't even notice the difference and the cops haven't stopped me yet.
