Don't want to jinx it, but I've been driving without it since Oct. 2013.

Is it not a legal requirement over there to have a front plate?

Well my professor who was a retired cop said that it's pointless for a front license plate. "It's not like we're going to drive backwards from the cops when they chase us." His exact words..

Honestly the only reason i see front plates being "required" is for red light cameras.. You look at every state with only the rear plate, none of them have these cameras.

PLUS, its kinda pointless seeing how they're banning and removing these cameras all over socal. No camera = no front plate. my logic.

No front plate for me.

Half of the cars from where I live do not have front license plates in the front, especially the expensive ones. :O

i have one but i also have side tint and i drive a bright red 2 door sportscar lol

never get pulled over if you have one but if you dont have one expect it at least once a month

people are also going to car meets and coming back to their cars with no front plate tickets on their dash pretty messed up
