Default Pulled Over

Has anyone else gotten pulled over for not having a front plate? I've had my TTR for a year and was pulled over this past weekend. Any advice on whether I should/should not get it attached? I have never seen a TT or TTR with a front plate? What is the worst that can happen if I get pulled over again?

got pulled over for going a bit too fast. He could have given me an extra ticket for $65. I always keep my front plate in my car just in case.

Default What state are you in? In VA they don't seem to really care. I've had 3 Miatas and an SLK and ...

now the TTR with no front plate and never had a problem. However, for DC residents, the police will ticket you even if you're parked on the street with no front plate. Depends a lot on where you live whether or not they enforce it.

Did they ticket you or just give you a warning? If just a warning, don't sweat it.

Default Not that it's pretty...but rolling top of plate back keeps airflow where it belongs.
