C6 front plate warning ticket

dtammen · 08-25-06, 08:01 PM

I was stopped by a bored County trooper in Illinois last weekend for not having a front plate displayed. He was sympathetic, but I now have 1 mark against me, and wondering what my options are. Any similar experiences out there?

Thanks.
Just wondering if there's an option to the very cheezy, but free, front bracket GM supplied. I run a bra most of the time, so if I were to use the GM bracket, I couldn't install the bra.

I've always preferred bra-less!

I see NH requires 2 plates, as does MO. Too bad more States like the 19 now, i.e. AZ, NM, KS, OK, KY, etc. that somehow figured out you don't need more than 1??

The law reads in New Hampshire that the front plate needs to be attached but doesn't have to be exposed.Therefore on my c-5 the front plate is under the front cover.Don't know what i'll do when I get the c-6 . N.H plate moto "live free or die"

You might want to look up the following three Vendors.........
www.rpmcomposites.com
www.topflightrepro.com
www.southerncarparts.com

All three offer various styles and prices.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

I checked the 3 products out, and boy!, are they ugly.....duhh!

Personally I think SouthernCarParts product looks the best. I'm going to continue to be an outlaw, at least until I garner a couple more warnings.

In the meantime, I'll be looking for a petition to support that eliminates this stupid law, vs. those that the states really need.

Don't forget PA. I've enjoyed the last few years going front-plate-less. They only issue one license plate when you register your car. Sweet.

Now, I'm in Texas and they handed me two plates. I only put the rear one on. I've already seen a few Vettes and a few metal cars without the front plate. Maybe they're just letting us go for now. I'll take my chances.

Anyone else in Texas without the front license plate?
Has anyone receieved a summons for not having one?
How many $$$?

Welcome to the

I'd take off my front plate but I'm sure one of the four cops in our town would notice.

I live in Texas, have had my Vette over 2 yrs. now, and have never had the front plate on. So far, I've never been stopped.

Around here (locally), I don't think they mess with you unless they stop you for something else, and you don't have it displayed.

I don't run mine and probably won't.

I took this up with Sen. Jane Nelson last year, supposedly thay ran out of time in the last session to get the 1 plate measure passed. I intend to take this issue up with her again. I think they only meet every 2 years here unless a special session is called.
