Default Euro Plates

I'm interested in getting a euro plate for the front of my car. Does anyone know what the laws are regarding having euro plates? I live in California.

Does Cali law require a front licence plate? If not, there shouldn't be a problem.

Cali law requires that you have a front license plate (the real/registered plate)

I've driven in California for 16 years without a front plate, no problem and that is not legal

Default Same experience, but.....

It's likely you'll get a fix-it ticket for the missing/wrong front plate if you get stopped for something else. I doubt you'll be bothered otherwise. One other problem: If you live where red light cameras are used, the locals might be much more likely to get you and the fine might be pretty steep.

Default I totally agree. Red light cameras suck!

My girlfriend has lived in California for about 6 years now and she didn't have a front license plate either. No problems with the police even after she was pulled over by a CHP. Then, just recently they installed a red light camera near our house and she got pulled over by a police officer for no other reason than not having that front license plate. Red light cameras suck!

Default Current Car & Driver Pat Bedard column....

...cited new stats which show that red light cameras actually INCREASE rear-enders. The whole camera thing is a giant scam.
