From what I heard they said that the front plate is not require anymore. Is this true?

where and when did you hear this?

I just searched the dmv site and the wa traffic latest laws site and couldn't find anything?

it's required, just don't have to have tabs on it

maybe the propostion that is up each year will get approved in the future.

I got a $94 ticket about a week ago for not having one.....

the OP is from WA, the plate law is different from state to state ( I moved here from Philly, in Philly we didn't even have a front plate, let alone require one )

it sucked, when I shipped my car ( 1996 sebring JXI ) it didn't even have holes drilled in the bumper for a front plate, I kept it on my dash facing the window- vette style

my brother got a ticket for having a license plate up front but not in the middle. WTF is that?

I think this is one of those laws... where if the cop needs a few tickets to meet his quota.... then he will start handing tickets for piddily little crap...

I had my ES for about 2 years drove all the way to ohio and back and within those 2 years time I got pulled over 5 times all in washington and once in illinois(sp?) never once got sighted for not having a front plate... until one day I was going through the gate at Mcchord and the guard asked me where it was... I told him I had to order a special bracket... and he was like oh...and let me be!

ive gotten a warning in my last car for not having a front license plate. luckily not yet on the evo. to my knowledge you still have to have one...

thanx alot for clearing it up.

i just keep mine in the car with me, and if i get pulled over, throw it on the dash, but i've had mine for 19 months and havent gotten pulled over for it yet..

wat cops actually get pissed about is havin it on the dash they would rather u not have one at all because if u got in an accident it could hurt you this is straight from a cops mouth ;-)

for the 2+ years I've had my car, I have only had the front plate on for maybe 3 months. never got warnings and/or citations for it, and I did get pulled over in that time. Do a lot of driving over the river in WA too

I've been pulled over almost thirty times (most in Corvallis) for this violation but only ticketed once. Had it in the window then. Cop didn't show up, thrown out. Now that I've been back in Portland for just over a year, I haven't been pulled over for it once. Course, my front plate is on the workbench in my garage and has been there since they came in. It is the law, but I refuse to obey this one.

i am with you in this one Tom! Is been a year and i have not got a warning or a ticket yet!
