Default Front License Plate? Do we need it?


I'm sure some of us got a front license plate ticket one time or another...some of you havent (lucky ones, this is your lucky day!)...

Has anybody got only one license plate (only S2000) from the DMV, and was this after 2005 or what year after(when you got your single license plate)?
Well, I came across this and I like to share this with all of yeah!

Has anybody used this to get out of a ticket?

Sorry if reposted:



Cant read it, here is the direct link: DMV Front License Plate Vehicle Code

This will work really well with those dam parking meter people (i might paste this on my S after hours lol)....and if your S isn't fixed up and got pulled over by a real COP, for a no front license plate; you can use this but "US YOUR OWN DISCRETION!" you might want wait and except the ticket and then go to court and show them (judge or cashier) this info...you know how COPS can react sometimes! Cheers!

Interesting stuff I'll print this out and see if I can use this as a get out of jail for free card

Edit: Nevermind just read it and it looks like its for trailers so it doesn't apply to vehicles.

this is nice because it says to display in front of vehicle, not stating a specific location. So if you have your plate in the front window lets say, then it is still in the front of the vehicle.

Thanks for the info

Every California Car is issued 2 plates. This won't fly. A few of the "gov" vehicles have 1 plate.

as far as i know, once i wrapped it with of fabric to hold the front license plate (couldn't find any bolts, last day, back in the days not the S ) inspector looked at it and said come back with two bolts that is attached to the bumper....

techicanally you are right about it "says to display in front of vehicle, not stating a specific location" that is a good point! ....i can't find anything on the two bolts that needs to be held with license plate and bumper....still looking for the section code..

yeah that wont fly. If the cop wants to give you a ticket for the plate, he'll give you one regardless. I got pulled over one where the cop noticed the lack of a front plate. Luckilty he told me that he wasnt going to site me for it.
