Front lisence Plate?

[AssassinGT]

Hey I was just curious cause I've heard too many mixed comments about this subject. Alot say that it is mandatory to have 2 lisence plates on your car but some say it isn't as long as you have one on the back? I don't know if I should put mine on my car? (2000 323ci)

it depends on where you live.

here in arizona, you are not required to have a front license plate. in fact, the motor vehicles usually only give you one plate.

i know there are states that require both plates, so it depends.

personally, i like it without the front plate.

im about to buy the kit that replaces the front license plate because i want my car to look as clean as possible and its not required in NC

Here in MD its illegal to drive with out one, they will slap a $50 ticket on you with out it on. I know in PA its not required cause thats where I bought mine from and no cars there had them.

Hmmm... Does anyone know the laws down here In California? I guess I'll have to check it out.

Cali requires 2 plates, don't know the penalties..

MD and VA it is required, but alot of car enthusiasts do not put one on. when i get a new bumper, im not going to put one on.

the S40 actually looks WORSE if you dont have a front licence plate of some kind because they put on a specialized holder for it



i am really starting to love the S40, expecially the gas mileage. i have never gotten less than 25 mpg, and 30+ mpg is more common. And believe me, i shouldn't be getting that the way i drive B) lol

it is required in MD and Iowa, i know that

It is not required in PA

btw thats not my car but some random internet pic

I know cops around here who intentially look for people without front plates (TX).

It's required here in Connecticut but I don't have mine on (I think it spoils the way the front looks). Basically it just means an extra ticket if I get stopped for speeding or parking violations.

Up here in Vermont Im pretty sure its illegal to drive without a front plate, Neons are also illegal lol

Well im in cali and i have my front plate on my dash.....i dunno if it is legal....but if i get pulled over....and they do think it is illegal...then my corners are too...and soon my tint will be illegal...
