Texas (specifically dfw area)

I just got an '04 8 for my 17th birthday and i really don't like how it looks with a front license plate on so i was wondering how many of yall drive with out it on, how many tickets(if any) you've received, and about how much are those tickets

I have driven mine for 2 yrs and have NEVER recieved so much as a warning, and i have been pulled over a number of times for other things.

I keep my plate down in the crack between the passenger seat and the console just in case they say something, then my retort is, "I have it right here but i had to order a special bracket to mount it to the front (because Mazda doesnt provide it) and its suppose to be here this week"

don't be stupid, front licence plate is just a reason they use to pull you over, if they don't suspect anything, they won't pull you over, drive like a law abiding citizen, and dress like one, and you are fine.

be rude to cop when they pull you over for speeding will cause them to tack on tickets such as these just to make you pay.

If you don't have a front plate, don't even has so much as a single beer. It's a freebe to pull you over anytime for.

I tend to agree with this sentiment. Id find it hard to drive a cop car and specifically spot a car without a front plate. On the other hand, Id bet itd sure be easy to spot a car speeding and then realize latter it doesnt have a front plate.
