front plate law? My friend told me the other day that they was passing the law that you no longer need the front plate. I have been searching all over the net and can't find nothing about it. Is he full of ****? Said it would be passed in Sept. of 2009.
I really hate my front plate, who all drives without one?

I've heard a plate on the dash/windshield can slice you (or passener) up pretty good in a frontal impact situation. I'll just take the ticket and chalk it up as more "road tax."
