Front License plate Safe or Stupid?

Diokaef · 02-12-2010, 11:40 PM

What do you guys think about front license plates??

Give your opinion.

Illinois may drop front license plate.

I'm totally in favor of that, how about you guys?

Blake · 02-12-2010, 11:42 PM

stupid and unpopular.

Noc57 · 02-12-2010, 11:42 PM

Never had to deal with front license plates....Ever.

Diokaef · 02-12-2010, 11:46 PM

I hate that they require here, I think is the stupidest thing in the world.

Hell, if the state wants to make even more money....I'd be happy to pay $50 a year with my registration just so I can drive around without a front plate legally.

Sara · 02-14-2010, 07:38 PM

My state requires it, but I dont have it on. They cant pull me over for it. So I'm good

silvergray545 · 02-14-2010, 07:41 PM

Stupid law. I have to put holes in my front bumper for nothing.

Only cool if you're in Germany and it's your real plate.

Derek Zoolander · 02-15-2010, 09:30 AM

Grew up in NJ (front plate) and moved to NH (front plate). I used to just not run it in NJ. Got pulled over 3 times but never ticketed. It sucks, but it's not worth the hassle. Just take it off for shows.

kyleb350 · 02-15-2010, 11:18 AM

If it passes, and if it's anything like the recent tint law, Chicago might still ticket you for not having one. lol

Gladius · 02-15-2010, 11:41 AM

It would probably save all these cash-strapped states a bunch of money on manufacturing the second plate...on the other hand they could start making more money off traffic fines if they kept the law.

M_Six · 02-15-2010, 11:57 AM

Man, I hope IL drops it. That would be sweet. I'd lose mine in a nanosecond. But they're flashing the "safety" card. The front plate was a clue in solving a handful of crimes, so of course they insist millions of cars keep using them. Typical dumb government logic.

Maestro · 02-15-2010, 12:07 PM

The states which do not have a front plate requirement are surround by states which require a front plate, Like PA and those states assume if you do not have a front plate you are from out of state and an easy ticket. Both NJ and OH look for cars with no front place since they are mostly likely form PA.
