It's illegal, but i haven't heard of anyone actually getting a ticket for it. I've heard that leaving the licence plate on the passanger's side of the dashboard is okay, but i don't know if this is true.

in some states they ticket for that too...but yeah, i've gotten plenty of license plates tickets in cali... good stuff huh???

i know florida doesn't require you to have a front plate...read the new super street there's an article on state laws about front plates, how low can your car be..and other misc. topics...

Wow that really sucks. My friend had a vanity plate on his Audi and he never got a ticket. As for california auto laws, you can just go to the dmv site and you can read the entire California Vehicle Code for your own pleasure.

soooo, put the license plate back on. i'd rather have a front license plate than multiple $100+ tickets, or even one ticket for that matter.

My bad, I didnt think you guys would make fun of me... That really hurts..
The reason why I havent put it back on is because I dont have one, Somebody stole it while I was parked..
