Front liscence plate

so do you guys have it on?
the car looks much better without it.
i was wondering if anyone is driving around without a front plate, and how much trouble you can get into for not having one?

I don't have a front license plate and this is perfectly legal in Québec. I have never had any problems with the law enforcement people in the rest of Canada and in the U.S. of A.

Mine already had the front license plate on when I bought it. I don't mind it, and I'd prefer not to have the hassle.

Also, I kind of like the idea that it sits between my bumper and some idiot who's gonna back or front into it while it's parked. 'Cause you know they're just gonna drive away and not leave a note or anything.

Got my car in the US last fall. Looks so good without the front plate, I haven't been able to bring myself to get it installed. Had one comment from a cop at a RIDE stop, that has been it. They have more important things to worry about. Figure if I ever get pulled over for a ticket, they will probably ding me for that too. Fine is around $100 for not having a front plate.

I keep it behind my seat so that I can put it on the dash in a pinch.

Im not from Canada, but its the same thing where I live, and Im not putting a front plate on my car. I haven't gotten a ticket yet, but I know one is coming.

I recently saw a cop roaming a local mall parking lot putting tickets on cars with no front plates as fast as he could waddle.

Meter maids and stupid traffic violations make my blood boil.

Just put a RFID in the cars and get rid of the front plate. It always ruins the look of the car.

I'm planning to just keep the plate in the trunk, then keep claiming it recently fell off
