Default Do you have a front License Plate?

How many of us really have a front license plate (mounted). Have you ever been hassled or pulled over for not having one????

I can't stand the thought of ever having to ruin the front end, even with a cool plate.

I've always had one just because I don't want the hassle. In Palo Alto, where I used to live, the parking cops were ticketing any parked car that didn't have a front plate. They even ticketed all the cars on my (residential) street. I was standing there watering my roses when the guy wrote the tickets (I asked him why he ticketed the cars because it wasn't obvious to me).

Now that my 993 is in Florida, I've yanked the plate. I figure if Florida cars don't need a front plate, then my car doesn't need one.

No front plate for almost forty years and many cars... Just very lucky, I guess..

Was just curious. Especially with us California guys. I don't have one on my P-car truck or Audi and have never been hassled.

I wish I didn't have one on my car. But where I live and work, the police will definitely pull me over if I didn't...ask me how I know.

No plate, but just recently got a ticket by the meter maids.

I rarely park on the street, but when I do, I am going to put my plate on the dash so it's visible through the front windshield. Hope that will work....

No front plates on my 993 or my wifes Mini. No front or rear yet for the Cayenne. I figure I'll wait a year or two before I put the rear on.

Lots of people drive around CA without Front OR Rear license plates...
I dont understand this.

I seem to be the only one getting tickets for no Front.
