Front License Plate?

[619E30]

Yess.

That's exactly what they did to me.
I was pulled over for 'speed unfit for conditions'(total bullshit, but thats another story), and they added modified exhaust, modified suspension(too low), and bald rear tires to my citation.

How much was that citation?

I got pulled over last saturday and got a $310 fine for not having a licence plate in the front.
But then again, this was in Norway, so I guess you don't have to worry

[accident]

i just tell them it didnt come with one when i bought it. i've only been pulled over for the front place once, the rest of the time they just mention it when i get pulled over for something else. i've never gotten a ticket for it though

I have the actuall CA highway code printed out that deals with front plates as i was pulled over.

in short, the front plate has to be VISIBLE and no lower than 4 inches from the ground and no higher than 66 inches.

I rocked my euro plate with the front cali plate in the window without any issues after that

I'm going to look into that i asked him if i could put front plate in window he said no.i have my front plate off to the side so doesn't block air flow on my e36 m3
just saw this so don't think thats valid

Saying probably invalidates whatever you have to say afterwards. I did not even bother reading it

You come off as a super douche. First of all, saying "probably" doesn't invalidate anything. I don't know what would give you that idea. You are asking for legal advice on a car forum... that's okay, and you'll probably get the right answer. But if you actually give a shit and want a "valid" answer, just take 30 seconds and look up the law like a normal person.

And do you think anyone would have a front plate if it weren't required?

LOL I ran no front plate for years, then I moved down to ladera ranch and poof get pulled over for it. Man cops in OC must be bored.

I could see that happening.

I've had two fixit-tickets for this, one for a euro plate, and one for no plate. Both times I went to court, the bailiff came out and checked to see that I had my state plate on, and they sent me on my way.

i had a euro plate on my front of car.cop pulled me over for it said need to put correct plate on front even knowing it had same numbers.i also pulled over for tint twice so removed it.its a fix it ticket cop signs off when corrected .you have to mail it in plus court filling fee.

Can you get pulled over for not having a license plate in the front even if there is no way to mount a plate in the front? And if so, would you get a fix-it ticket or just a citation?

its just about not getting cought, and how strict the police are in your area. or if the cops having a bad day

I got a $30.00 parking violation on my 911 for not having a front plate.

[ak-]

Looked like it I guess.

[Jand3rson]

I've always wondered how the hell Corvette owners dealt with this problem? There's no place to mount the plate on some of their models.

Umm.... that's what that panel on the nose of the car is. It comes off, and that's where you mount the plate.
