So then why not offer a $25/year "no-front-plate" option fee? That way they make money, and we can be happy? I'm willing to bet the people letting their registration expire, and doing stupid stuff on the roads are mostly people who are lazy and don't really care about their cars that much, which means they probably are a small percentage of the demographic that would opt for no front plate. So if anything you're making money off the group of people who otherwise wouldn't gain you anything! It's a win-win for everyone!

+1 to this idea
