Hey ya all,

I live in California and am purchasing a Colgan Car bra for my 2003 Accord EX V6. I have the option to order it without the license plate cut out, which is what I would prefer. However, some people I've talked to have told me that it's required by law to have the front license plate on. Is this true? Thanks in advance for your input

 

yes...ive gotten about a few tickets for not having my front license plate..but yeah.in cali you need a front license plate

 

both front and back plates are required for cali folks, front plate need to be mounted at center of the front bumper

 

It is law in CA to have front and back. My friend even got a ticket for having the plate in his front windshield.

 

Damn, CA's automotive laws suck.

 

well, it's not that bad, if everyone remove than plate in front, the little traffic camera cant catch sh_t = everyone running the red light

 

same laws here in NY

 

Same way here in NJ. I remember someone saying that they keep their front license plate in their glove box. If they get pulled over, they would show the cop the license plate, and say that they were going to Home Depot to get some screws because it fell off.

 

It all depends where u live and how the law enforcement people are... but i'm pretty sure by law in most states, u need front and back plates.

My brother has a 94 accord ex coupe and he never has his front plates on! No ticket to this date (u do the math). We live in good ol' wisconsin. Oh yeah, he did get a speeding ticket once, the cop didn't say a thing except that "i'm issuing u a citation for speeding"... haha...

 

actually it isnt a law in all states, in kansas all you need is a back plate, and a couple other states whose names i forget. here in NEBRASKA wes gotsta haves bofth dem der plates thingeys on.

 

Not all true, here in AZ we have traffic lights all over now .. and we only have to have back plates .. and they still catch you.

Plus, I think they are all a bunch of crock anyways (traffic lights) .. hes they might reduce t-bone accidents, but I bet you have more rear end accidents now because of the damn things.

 

Toledo's got a lot of light cameras, though Columbus dosn't, go figure?

 

You don't need the front plate here in Michigan.
