At least in my area the cops could care less if your running a front plate, but it's just an excuse to pull you over if they have pc that your driving drunk or other things lol. The handful of cops I talk to and know could careless.

Now be mindful kag, in the state of Illinois your front plate must be clearly visible and higher than 5" from the road surface to the bottom of the plate...
Another lame illinois law... I hate Illinois

Thats where mine is. I got pulled over for it once and got a written warning for Improper Display

 

[epic]

I've gotten one ticket, two warnings across the 5 cars I've owned. Just can't ugly my car like that.

 

[RebelGTP]

I got an official warning when I got the speeding ticket on I-90 last Oct for the clear plastic cover...

It's bullshit... I was trying to protect something that the State of IL Owns...

It would be nice. Berwyn wrote me for it in front of my house. Damn Parking Nazis in the Aveos.

I don't understand how ending front license plates saves the state money. Last I checked, I'm the one who's paying hundreds to get new plates on a car, not IL. What else is involved that I'm not thinking about?

I lasted about four years and three cars into driving or so until I eventually got pulled over and ticketed for no front plate in Lombard. If I didn't already have the holes in my bumper, I'd probably try the 3M tape on it. I wouldn't put it under the bumper like people do on their F-body's all the time. The right cop in the right place will give you the same ticket as if you didn't have it at all.

It saves money due to not using as much materials, time and people to make them. It will make them more money because they will keep the plate cost the same and have less to buy when making them. It's very simple.

 

[turtleman]

For some reason, it didn't occur to me that they are taking the one license plate out of the picture and charging that same fee. That makes sense. I'm a bonehead.

 

[firemandan1700]

^^Lol^^ it happens!
But tea they estimate in the range of a Mil year

 

[THEHKP7M13]

Any progress on the bill?

 

[CrunkMaro]

Ugh... that's gay. I've always ran a front plate on my DD's because they usually had a recessed spot in the bumpers for them anyways, but never ran one on my formula, BMW's, Alfa Romeo, or other performance cars because I truely do hate the look of them... I never ran one on my jeep because the front bumper is metal, and I never felt motivated enough to drill into the metal for screw holes ( yes i know, self tapping screws, lol) but... My new sierra has a recess in the front bumper for a plate, and IMO would look dumb without it, on top of that, I park on city streets every day and they WILL ticket you for that shit.

I have tinted plate covers front and rear (yes IK they're illegal... never been given a hard time for them) that make the plates blend in quite well with the black plastic on the front.

I had Monee pull me over for them.

"Where's your front plate?" *me thinking I might have scraped it off on a curb* "It was on there last I checked..." get out of the car just to confirm if it slid out, bracket broke off whatever; everything was there, bracket, plate, and cover in perfect condition "Um, officer, my plate is right there." "Oh, well I couldn't see it because of the plate cover."

 

[Outlaw]

lol... idiot cop. I got pulled over in my jeep last week at like... 3am. I was just driving it to stretch its legs because it just sits now unless I have to go out on a job and need my tools. Anyways, was on my way to get gas in the damn thing and got pulled over... Cop was cool, I showed him the plate.. keep it between ctr. counsle and seat to show I have it... I have recently been using the excuse that it was knocked off during the blizzard and I have to re tap the holes to get it back on there. They have always been nice about it and let me off.

It didn't "die".

Mitchell said he is going to talk to committee members and may bring up the measure again later in the legislative session. The legislation is House Bill 4888.

It is basically sitting in limbo. Sounds like Mitchell is going to try and gain more support and if he is able to get more, will bring up the bill for another vote.

 

[firemandan1700]

They are looking to trim money. This is perfect. And makes us car enthusiasts happy

 

[radioguy6]

for a state in desperate need of money, $800K a year is a no brainer. State police laser guns will still work. I-pass cameras can read the rear plate. Red light cameras can read the rear plate. And last time I checked when people try to run from the cops, they go forward not in reverse. 19 states have operated fine without them.

They are running out of excuses.

Within a week I got pulled over by the same cop and gut 2 TICKETS by the same bitch for no front plates. She was so hot too . I'm gonna try and figure out a way to mount it up w/out drilling holes. I know on my prelude I used double sided tape and although it looked ghetto as hell it held up just fine through rain, fast driving etc.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Can you be accountable for both tickets?

I used to get tickets with the gtp even with it in the window. I had it stuffed in the lower opening for a while without to much issue. I haven't had one on my cars for going on 4 years now without an issue.
