Get the tow hook bracket so you can stop worrying and drive the **** out of it.

I have lived in the Peoples Republic of MD for 21 years. I have never had a front plate on any of my sports cars.
The truck sure. My wife doesn't care about her car.
In 21 years I have received 4 warnings and one fine. I always have the plate in the car and tell them
I need the mounting hardware. When I pay a fine I count that toward my contribution to the
State. If you have a Bay Plate you pay more to the state (which I do). It's supposed to go to
cleaning up the Chesapeake. Hmmmmm. Pay the fine, preserve the beauty of the GT3!

Not that I know of. A missing plate is 0 points. It's just a fine. I'm probably around 7-10 tickets in the last 15 years and have flawless insurance according to my agent. I also just switched providers and they didn't say anything.

Correct! It's not a moving violation. No Points. Pay the fine.
Just like a "red light camera" fine. No points, just pay the State bureaucrats.

When I get another ticket, I'm going to say I'm doing this to save the Bay (if the cop is cool). I think they'll laugh

I refuse to put front plates on any vehicle I own. I despise them. Johnny Law can put down the jelly donut and walk to the rear of the vehicle if he somehow manages to pull me over with me behind him.

I figure the chances of that ticket are one every 5 years or so. That's on the the high end. It's a non moving violation anyway. Consider it an operating cost.

And help us all out with a useful form of civil disobedience.

Front license plate is ugly. If DD yeah put it on tow hook- both on center or off center is still ugly either way. If weekender- just pay to play. Mike

Was pulled over for speeding >100mph. Should have listened to the V1 blaring for 30s. Nice cop gave lecture on speeding but only gave tix for no front plate. Fix it ticket. put on tow hook, then take off. If not, would stay just pay tix.
