That's a bummer.

I do not want to drill holes in the front bumper of my VW GLI

Will the state pay for supplying front license plate brackets?

They just want to grab more of your money. What better way to add an additional "tax" and not call it a tax? Virginia has been this way ever since I moved there 15 years ago. I never put a front plate on any of my cars and never got a ticket for it yet. That said, my '88 targa had a bracket and i went ahead and put the plate on because i don't want to draw attention to myself. I grew up in florida and they still don't have front plates. i hope you guys defeat this asanine new 'tax'. where are you supposed to put your UNC or Duke front plates now????

I also heard it's easier for LEO to use a lasar gun by aiming at the front plate to get a speed reading.

By the way,

Dave,

I like the new photo of your Black SC on the track !!

Indiana considered front plates some years ago with some legislators saying the added costs would be minimal for car owners. I wrote my legislator and quoted dealer prices for front licence brackets for the three cars I owned. It came to over $100 I remember. I'm not sure it helped, but the bill was defeated. Write on!
