    Been driving without one for years in CT (law exists). I’ve been pulled over for other things but never talked to about that by cops.
    On my way back from Canada a border patrol agent asked me why I don’t have it since my state requires it. I told him I never used one and if need be I’ll just pay my fine.

    Sto n Sho all the way. I bolted mine instead of sticking it to the plastic. Summer heat + high speed runs on my M6 just pose too much of a risk for that thing flying off and causing more damage.
    I also put mine in the foot well of the front passenger seat unless I’m pulled over. Then it’s the classic “Oh officer, I always have it on but I took it off yesterday to wash my car and forgot to put it back on!”.

    Save the hassle and register your vehicle in the south-east where front plates are optional or completely omitted.
    Also vehicles taxes are cheaper.
    Actually… just leave the north entirely. Lot less snow in the south and away from the rust belt. Wider highways and regular highway speeds actually baselines at 70 mph. Cheaper housing allowed me a bigger garage.

      (In CT the Plates transfer with the Owner rather than the Vehicle.)

    With a front license plate, it would be easier for some parking facilities where at gates, there no column for either dispensing a ticket or with a card reader for reading your card of choice as a parking ticket but only a camera positioned to only read your front license plate so any vehicle of length is supported. Also, when travelling to other countries by road such as #Canada, there would be less legal problems with having a front license plate especially when you travel to provinces such as British Columbia and Ontario. In countries such as #Taiwan, plenty of pay parking facilities are gated and don't issue any physical ticket but only scan your front license plate no matter if you're a casual visitor or a frequent customer.

    I drive a 2003 Mercedes E320, and live in a state that requires front plates, but I can't really go without the plate because without it I have no place to mount the "[Town Name] Firefighter" plate onto the car.
