Some toll roads take pictures of the front of your car. No plate means they won't be able to track you down.

What?! I thought there was a bill trying to get passed to ELIMINATE the front plate? Oh well. I was about to delete it off the bumper and mount on the windshield too

I would still drive around without it on and say "oh sorry I didn't hear about the law, when I get home I'll put it on. I don't really look at the news that much." Then see how it goes from there....

Ohio is the same way... I have never had a front plate, though.

"Yeah, just had the bumper replaced... Plate Bracket is on National Backorder."

1000 warnings... never a ticket.

texas has it pretty damn easy compared to a lot of states. dont worry too much. hell i didnt have to have mufflers or pass emissions or need a rearview mirror. you can run open wheel in this state. 85mph speed limit out west, lots of open road. other than vehicles tho i hate this place.

That's the main reason I have mine mounted up front. My rims, loud muffler and stickers already make me look like a racer, I don't want to give them an actual reason to pull me over.

Colorado's law simply say tha your license plate must be securely fastened to the front of the car. It does not say where or what securely fastened means...

Well it WAS like that. Law said it had to be clearly visable on the front of the vehicle. Now it specifically states it has to be on the bumper I think.
