Never Stoped
 
I've been driving without a front plate in texas since October, 1990 when I picked up my first Miata and I am continuing the tradition with my RX-8. We've travelled all over the state as well as to many other states without a problem.:p

Don't drive through Hutto! All our cars have been driven sans front plate for years, and we've both been stopped by DPS and APD, and until last month, not a single cop has even mentioned the lack of a plate, let alone cited us for it. But Hutto apparently needs to pay for their shiney new courthouse building. :mad:

Done.

Also, I was having trouble finding a definitive answer to the legality of clear side markers as to whether or not you have to have amber bulbs. Anyone clear as to whether you have to have amber or can use white bulbs for the sides?

Thanks for the help

Buried in the law is the requirement that the side marker lights "must reflect amber".

However, it is not an inspectable item.

And I and all my family members have signed the petition.

You are right.


§ 547.353. COLOR REQUIREMENTS. (a) A clearance lamp,
identification lamp, side marker lamp, or reflector mounted on the
front, on the side near the front, or in the center of the vehicle
must be or reflect amber

I guess we should try to get ppl on other cars' forums to jump in.

You know the WRX, EVO, G35 and all other lesser cars :)

yanksfan1_67 04-12-2004 07:21 PM

Yeah...when's the last time you saw a front plate on a Corvette?
What a silly law!! Just signed up!
