No shit , I guess its like the technology of face recogintion that alot of bigger cities are going to . I would imagine its got to be pretty high tech to get a reading as you are passing some one at a higher rate of speed like that .

maybe this hasn't worked cause the reasons for not having one are just plan crazy.....come on who wrote this a 2nd grader.....

TonyToughNuts · 12-18-2007, 09:43 AM

beeing that i'm military, i'll just go to a state that doesn't require front plates, and registar there. HA! (yes i know that it isn't that easy.)

Mustang_68_Coup · 12-18-2007, 09:55 AM

I've got my front plate, but it's laying on a cabinet in the garage ...

I yanked the old one off when I was shoving a car with the front of my pickup ... and haven't ever put it back on ...

I am such an outlaw.

blackicecobra · 12-19-2007, 10:22 AM

Anybody know the specifics to this law? I have mine mounted on the upper right of my windshield using suction cups. Havent been pulled over yet.......hope I didnt jinx myself...lol

I took my front plate off the same day I arrived here in Florida. Took that front plate and threw it in the garbage!. Now I am just waiting to get my Single rear Florida plate and I'll pitch the other one!

One plate OWNS!

That's what I loved about being from Florida. I was stoked to have only a rear plate...

I just took the front plate off the Bullitt a few weeks ago. It's in the dash now. Haven't had any problems yet...

Mustang_68_Coup · 12-19-2007, 04:45 PM

The rule reads something like "the leading edge of your vehicle," which the DASH or Windshield is not a leading edge ... The way it's written, it is supposed to be on the front bumper, and anywhere else (or missing) is a ticket.

cmschlatt · 12-19-2007, 07:45 PM

why not?.... signed

Lampoon · 12-20-2007, 05:44 PM

Cause it needs to be affixed/mounted as the manufacturer intended. In the window or on the dash wont work.
Its the law.....

I just bought a jig from a guy who makes them in Canada. The rig attaches the plate
without touching the front bumper.

no holes in my bumper.

**thesource** · 12-20-2007, 07:44 PM

Why don't motorcycles have a front plate ?

Lampoon · 12-20-2007, 07:49 PM

Oh...Im good at the Why game....
Why cant I blast a missle at the turds that cut me off?

I didnt write the laws man....

Agent Jones · 12-20-2007, 07:56 PM

lol theres no place to put them on motorcycles.

Lampoon · 12-20-2007, 08:20 PM

Got my front plate adapter from this guy. Works like a charm.

What about cars like the Cobra R's front bumper and 03-04cobra??! They don't have a mounting spot for the plate....unless you drill holes through your existing bumper. Certain cars are exempt from a front plate i think....cause not all manufaturers make a place on the front bumpers to mount the plate. So in this case why wouldn't the front window be OK?!! If they say it's the "law" and you have to mount it on the front can't you just throw out the argument that it depreciate the resale value of the vehicle? Wouldn't it be else to get around this by changing out front bumpers to one that dosen't have a front mounting spot?

TheBocSez · 02-08-2008, 07:22 AM

No cars are exempt from the front LP laws. I would imagine you can argue all day about the depreciation but your still in violation. On the dash is not the "front" of the car nor is it "mounted" both of which are part of the requirement. It looks like the adapter posted by Lampoon is a pretty good compromise though.
