I've been cited 3 times for the front plate (in Texas), but still won't put it on.

$75. I had the option to lie and say that I had put it on already and pay $1, but I have no interest in lying to a judge, or putting the plate on.

I didn't mention how many times I didn't get a ticket for it. I've been pulled over many times and not gotten a ticket for the plates.

I too have been pulled over many times. Passed by many cops. Still have only gotten one ticket for no front plate.

Ditch the front plate and add a little mystery and chance to your life!!

yes, you are required by the state of texas to show front plates on your vehicles. yuck! my husband and i have 5 cars between us. none of them have front plates. we have yet to be pulled over by the fuzz for this. i've been pulled over for speeding and gotten cited for that, but not the front plate. knock on wood!

by the way 'Pan', where are you from? are you new to the Lone Star State?
