God i'm glad i don't live in a 2 plate state. i think the plate holder for the 93-97 fbodies is now discontinued from GM so i would think that would be a legitimate excuse for not having it mounted there?

Front plates are all kinds of fail. What ever happened to that petition that everyone and their mom signed a while back to have this law dropped?

I drove by a trooper that alread had another car pulled over when he busted a u-turn and pulled me over. Told me he was pulling me over for no front LP.

Asked me if I'd ever had a warning for it before, I told him no. He gave me a warning and said "If you had had a warning before, I would have to write you a ticket" then sent me on my way.

Do warnings show up when they pull your DL up or no?

I'm pretty sure they don't because I have recieved multiple warnings for dark tint and no front license plate.


As for this foolish law...I refuse to put a front plate on any vehicle that wasn't designed for it.

I got a similar "warning" for having a license plate bracket that covered up the bottom part of the plate. Talk about an even more senseless law!!!

i never used to think so but i think they do. talked to a lady who had gotten a ticket for no front plate because she had already been warned 3 months before.

YEP, they sure do in Tx.I drove by a DPS who was finishing up with another car which he had stopped he pulled out behind me siowiy pulled up behind (2-3 miles before he pulled up) we were out in the county on a fm road, the first thing when he walked up from behind "Texas law requires two plates and you have only one" he never looked at the front,he ran my lic. came back and stated " you were stopped and warned on I 10 in east HOUSTON in this same car for no front plate 23 months ago and I will assure you if you are stopped in this car for same problem a third time by Tx DPS, you will be written , have a good day"
just be fore warned
