Hey gorTT,
You're from Austin? I'm thinking of moving there. So does APD pull people over for no front license plate? I've been pulled over a couple of times for that in Texas...

Default They absolutely DO NOT >

even in the midst of my last stop, where the APD was furious at me and ready to whip out the cuffs, it was never mentioned. In fact, in the (oh, God, it's been this many) 13 times I've been pulled over for speeding (8 tickets, & "so far" only one on my record... knock, knock LOUDLY) it's NEVER been mentioned...

Default Just wait until the police wakes up & notices it's a revenue stream...

Probably why it's so bad here in L.A.

Default maybe true, on the plate >

though I do receive thank-you notes from 'Defensive Driving' already, for being such a significant contributor to their bottom line - I've even made the 'gold-level sponsor' list in their quarterly report ;-|

13 times?!?!? 8 tickets?!?!? That's impressive! In a not-so-good way of course....
Cheers!

Cool, thanks... yeah it's ironic that I only got pulled over twice in my life, not for going triple digits (knock on wood), but both times for "improper display of license plate". I think they just needed an excuse...
