Move to Florida! No inspections, no front plates! Personally I think the front plate thing is assinine, the cops aren't going to see my front plate long enough to read it.

Hurricanes do suck. If you live inland like I do you don't worry to much, but you'll still be without power for days at a time if it even get's close to you. Tornadoes? you must be thinking of Missouri or Kansas. Alligators aren't a problem unless you're stupid! This guy must have been atleast 10 feet, luckily my kayak is 14 feet. Alligators want an easy meal that will fit in their mouth and no they can't run 35mph! That is total BS.

No way, Too many Hurricanes, Tornadoes(Not the car) and too many hungry Aligators, snap, snap! We may have a few earthquakes here in Ca, But We usually ride them out ok.

Be prepared to get pulled over and explain that one... Many plates now have holograms and fun things built into them to help them quickly see whether it is real or not and lacking those things will stick out like a sore thumb to a good cop... They can see expired inspection/tag stickers from miles away
(from what cop family members tell me)... Most of the nasty stops I have heard about through those same family members started out with non-traffic officers seeing people with random, but small problems with the exterior of their car...
A stop and a flash-light later and there are guns, drugs, felony warrants etc... So, to them it is like shooting fish in a barrel. Criminals seem to not take care of the pesky little bereaucrtic details of life...
That ignores the implications of "attempting to interfere with" laser speed detection...
So, before I "mucked with" my plates in any way shape or form, I would pull it off and risk the pull-over to explain that "if fell off! - look here it is in the passenger seat!"

I don't have mine on either. I've had my car almost a year and have not been pulled over yet(knock on wood) for not having a plate, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time. I'm not putting holes in my bumper though. Let us know how the 3M tape works.

Front license plates are a flipp'n joke! Someone give me a good reason why it should be required to have a plate on the front of the car!
Just another retarded law we have to live with because some dumbass decided to do it.
You should put your front plate on, UPSIDE-DOWN. Then when someone asks, just say "you have to stand on your head, just like the morons were when they made this law!"

RE: What to do about front licence plates
Yep another stupid law enacted by the Democrats. I'm in Colorado and I didn't put mine on the front either. If I'm pulled over for it, I'll simply say; "But Officer, they don't make front license plate brackets for these cars." and see what happens. But then again I don't drive in a way to draw attention to myself. [sm=gears.gif]
