Just got tagged by my local  Police for not having my front license plate on my SRT-4 (it's law here in Missouri).  I know i was in the wrong but that plate looks so fugly on the bumper!  and BTW the officer was totally polite and cordial.  Anybody in MO get away with having it in their windshield?  i think thats what i'll try... So who's state doesn't require a front plate on cars?

Not required in Mississippi.   waytogo

But its required in California.   Cry  I used to drive around with it against my windshield, but then found an extra bumper License plate mount from a Land Rover... doesnt look half bad, but i still prefer the clean look.

No front here in TN either. I went to visit friends in my hometown in VA for 2 weeks last month. Took my Jeep, which still has my old VA plate on the front and the expired county and inspection stickers in the windshield (all expired in '03/'04). Got pulled over 3 times for it by cops that were passing me going the opposite direction. Not much they could do about it.

They tried to bring in front number plates for Bikes here in Australia (I know this topic is about cars), but the secret plans were leaked, some smart people decided it was going to be to dangerous and the whole idea was shit canned.

Give it a couple of years, and they'll try it again.

You have to have front number plates in all states of Australia

we have to have front plates here in cali, and having the plate inside the vehicle is a no go, it has to be mounted on the front of the vehicle. i have never run a front plate. i got hassled once about it, ended up talking to the cop about my car and racing because he noticed that my windshield was covered in tech stickers from going to the track, and he was interested in racing.

I think having in in the windshield looks more tacky then having it on the front bumper.

We have to have them in Texas. Cops use it as a reason to pull you over, but rarely ticket for it.

It's such a pain to mount a front plate on a bike.  Angry  laughingdp

It is required in CO.  Got a ticket once for having it laying on the dash.  Cop said it needs to be mounted on the bumper.  (where photo radar camera's pick it up.)

I moved from Florida (no front plate) to Texas a few years back. I refuse to drill holes in my bumper to mount it so I keep it in the car with me. I have been pulled over once, but put the plate up in the window before the state trooper got to the car. Got the warning, but no ticket. Granted this was on a rural highway, I have yet to be pulled over in 3 years of city driving.

My wife keeps hers in the window on the dash.

No front plate for bikes in Texas, just wanted to make sure that wasn't a misunderstanding.

I'm in Colorado where front plate is required... but the general rule here (around denver) is: cops won't pull you over for it, but if you park in downtown you need to have the plate displayed on the center or side of traffic.  I would just put the plate in my front windshield when I parked on the street (downtown or anywhere).  I didn't bother when I parked in a lot.  2 years never got a ticket.

picture of my old car and why I didn't want a front plate... props to the first guy who knows what my plate means.
