No more front license plate?
 

hope they dont call a special session to address this law
Optional plates until 2013? I'll take it :)

In! Gotta plug those holes in my darned bumper now though. Still likely to get pulled if they are looking for an excuse...

lucky!

good find ron ron

:happydance:

Hey, thanks Ron for the pm about the plate adapter and posting this new info. But it seems that this is a just bit of a "loop hole" in the law someone found, and that the cops would probably still harass us if we start taking our front plates off.

They probably will. It would just be easier to get it dismissed now. Still a hassle to go to court and all that.

Nice :) Thanks.

Never had one anyways :tup:

The way I read it, this applies to both plates. Would not need front or rear. :bowrofl:

The front plate issue comes up every now and then in congress, but somehow it always manages to stay in...:mad:

I don't really care too much now, I really like my vanity plates and the LPB I have is no issue. :tup:

Good find Ron!:tiphat:

Oh hell yes. Thank you Ron lol

Well... I don't see no new rep coming from you people! haha

Is this real?

I would have but I already gave you rep for something else apparently lol

WTF haha I got none from you. Now u got me wondering how many I've lost because of that.. now where's AK? :p

"Penalties are implicit"

Texas mistakenly drops fine for no license plates - Houston Chronicle

I see it 007MI6! Thanks! :D

YES!

Now I can take that dang tow hook deelio off! Rep to you Ron...........:tup:

hm that means that fines are implied in law so they don't have to tell you that there is a fine, you are supposed to from reading the law automatically know that if you break it there will be a fine...

i like how politicians think that everyone is capable of reading laws and magically know exactly what they mean.

i have been sooo nervous lately about getting pulled over for no front plate.... AGAIN. Thanks for the info Ronster.

I talked with my police officer friend and this is real. As of january 1st no more front plates in texas unless the hold a special session to fix it but he said he doesnt forsee it happening since most new sports cars dont have places for the front plate and a lot pf people dont want it.

:tup:

Sounds like good news for you Texans! I personally don't see why there is a need for a front plate but w/e. The last part of that second article made me lol a bit. If the law requiring a fine doesn't exist any more, then how is it even possible to interpret the law in any other way than that there is no fine?

nice find RON!!!

still gonna have to check out your Nismo!

Anytime man!

So you can ride with no front plate in Houston TX?

I took mine off. No issues so far.

I got pulled over for it and was told my excuse was BS.

did you get a ticket?

They way I understand it - you can still get stopped and ticketed but there is no punishment.

also, I'm sporting the no-hole front bumper:happydance::happydance::driving:

Nope. Just a warning.

He knew you were right or he probly would have just written the ticket, he knows the laws and when anything changes. I also have a few police friends who say they can't write tickets for them until march at the earliest if the mistake gets corrected but that it will eventually be back in place.

No one wants it lol. Who would just drill holes in their car. The truth is the cops (not hating) don't care what kind of car you drive, an old beater Honda all the way up to a rolls Royce and beyond, they'll tell you that someone makes a bracket for that type of vehicle.

Rep for you then!

Kind of slow on the draw I know... :tup:

2013 any update on this? Ive been running no plates since I got my car in September... just being cautious. lol

same here

three...... I live right next to a station too lol

hate to spend money on bracket.

Me, five ? :ugh2:

I haven't had any issues so far without a front plate :knock on wood: but I wanna be in the know in case it does happen [again]

cops; hpd, state, constable all seen me without front plates and said nothing, or would compliment the ride
